How to keep application's shared folder invisible on server
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2008 03:42 PM

Hi Friends

Can anybody guide me.

How to make the application's shared folder on the server invisible to the clients
on network environment or on a peer to peer network. When we set the folder as "shared"
with full access rights only, the other users connected the application can perform read/
write to the data on the server. Even though the application restricts the usage of its
internal modules based on the username and password provided by the application, the
client is able to access the shared folder and its sub-folders in the server and can
tamper the shared folder. Is there any way to prevent it.

I am new to these techniques of networking.

Is there any way to stop the clients to view or temper the shared folder in the server.
