File security on network

M

Matrix

I have 2 PCs connected to network.
Both running Win XP Pro.
PC1 have FAT32 and PC2 have NTFS.

How can I enable (or disable) access spesific users to a
spesific files (or directorries) on PC2 (Locally)?
And how can I do the same to users of PC2 when they
connect to PC1?

I know that in Windows server 2003 I can set permition on
a file level (by right clicking the file). How can I do
the same in WinXP (I have a NTFS format on PC2)?

Yes. You can. Look into NTFS file and directory permissions..

Use the built in help or research using google.

.
XP hides the security settings in the file/folder
properties settings.

goto:my computer/tools/folder options/view
scroll to the very last checkbox "Use simple file sharing"
and uncheck this box.

Now the security tab is visible in the proerties sheets.

Note : I believe you need NTFS to use these settings.
