File Sharing and limiting access to certain clients connected to vpn server.

Post by bmoto27 » Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:54 pm

My goal is to be able to share specific folders (from one harddrive) to specific clients connected to my vpn server.

I've Successfully configured the vpn, I've also successfully been able to access the drive I had shared by using \\10.8.0.1\Shared (shared is the name of the folder I shared off the drive.
I was able to do this by giving drive access to "everyone"
I'm able to take away the "everyone" permission from subfolders contained within that shared folder and the edited sub folder disappears from the client connected to the drive.
How do I specify which clients have access to which folder
I've tried things like \\10.8.0.4\blain (0.4 being the clients ip connected to the vpn and "blain" being the user, even the desktop name thinking windows should think its on the same LAN but now I'm lost. Any help? Please ask me if you need me to clarify something. i feel proficient enough... ill try my best.
