Creating a share

[ChrisL]

Does anybody know how to create a share on Windows XP?

I don't think Net Share is going to work because this only enables a read only share.

Is there a COM object or something which you can create a share with read/write access for a specific user?

Thanks

I found this but I'm not sure exactly how to convert it, could someone help please

Const FILE_SHARE = 0

Const MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25

strComputer = "atl-ws-01"

Set objWMIService = GetObject _

("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share")

errReturn = objNewShare.Create _

("C:\Public", "PublicShare", FILE_SHARE, _

MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "Public share for Fabrikam employees.")

Search for VAConvert. It converts VBS to AU3.

Not tested:

Const $FILE_SHARE = 0
Const $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25

$strComputer = "atl-ws-01"
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

$objNewShare = $objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share")

$errReturn = $objNewShare.Create("C:\Public", "PublicShare", $FILE_SHARE, $MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "Public share for Fabrikam employees.")

Yes that works great thanks, I was trying to do it with objCreate and not ObjGet like what you have done.

Thanks again

How to access from other computers, read, write and how we can give permissions to?

@Burak did you not notice that this thread is almost 10 years old? Please don't resurrect old posts, as the language has grown in 10 years and what worked then may no longer be the best method to solve your problem. You are much better served by creating a new thread, explaining in detail what you are trying to accomplish, along with what you have tried on your own already to show you've put some effort in.
