Anonymous Login

[RG]

I have a couple of PC's and have given some shares (and NTFS) "Anonymous"
login rights. From the remote PC, when it prompts for username and password
%pcname%/Anonymous and no password it doesn't give me access. What is the
correct syntax to gain access? Each pc is in it's only Workgroup.
Thanks.

You probably have disabled the 'guest' rights. You can create identical
ID/Pass on each machine to overcome this.

I dont want them to have access to the workstation, other than via the
network. I have looked in Local Security Policy and can't find the correct
setting/s to allow, access to Files/folders using the Anonymous account.
Surely you can added the Anonymous account to have access to a Share (with
NTFS permissions) so they can copy, read & delete?

Thanks.
