You can share files or folders with someone using your computer or another computer on the same network. In this method, Share Permission can be granted to an individual or group of users on the same network. From the Public folder In this method, you can move or copy files to your public folder. If you turn on the File Sharing for a public folder, everyone can access and see all files available on your network and have a personal account on a computer.
Steps How to Enable File and Printer Sharing in Windows 8 Step 1 You can move the cursor on the bottom-right and click on the search box and type in it what you want. Step 3 In this step, you click on "System and Security". Step 4 In this step, click on "Network and Security". For any technical issues, please consult our online Linksys Cloud Manager 1. For all other regions, go here to see your support options or contact your local Linksys office for more information.

What you can do with this feature: File Sharing — This allows easy access and share files and folders on computers that belong to the same Workgroup or Homegroup. Printer Sharing — Allows your computers that are part of the main network and same Workgroup or Homegroup to send print jobs to a printer connected wired or wirelessly to your computer.
Sharing files or folders in Windows 8 Sharing a printer in Windows 8 Sharing files or folders in Windows 8 Step 1: Create the folder you want to share. Troubleshooting Tips: Before you proceed with enabling File and Printer sharing, make sure that your printer is able to print when directly connected to a computer.
This is to ensure that the printer is working properly. If you are having problems when the printer is directly connected to your router, there is a possibility that your printer has a Static IP address and may be in conflict. Optimizing your network Today, more and more devices require wireless connection for mobility purposes. Was this support article useful?
Local Publishing. DevicePath is a feature in PnP behavior that allows additional drivers to be discovered on a file share or local folder.
DevicePath is searched after PnP searches the local driver store, but before a Windows Update check is started. DevicePath is always searched for all PnP driver searches, and it is not indexed in any way. Because of this, performance of all PnP driver searches will be degraded if the connection to the folder is slow, or if a large number of drivers are published on the share. The first step in using a DevicePath deployment strategy is to create a file share on the network that is accessible to all of the necessary client computers.
Once that is done, each client computer needs to be configured to search the DevicePath. Modify the DevicePath Registry Key. Drivers published on the DevicePath share must still be signed to avoid prompts and elevations during installation, or additional configuration of the clients may be necessary to suppress elevations and prompts. Most deployment tools are designed to distribute applications. To deploy a v4 driver as an application, it must be wrapped in an install package that will add the driver to the local driver store when it is run on the client computer.
No other actions are required. Once the driver is in the driver store, it will be available for PnP to discover it when the connection is made. If your deployment tool supports driver deployments directly to client computers, there is no need to create an install package for the v4 driver. The v4 driver must be in the local driver store when the connection is made to ensure it is used by the local spooler when creating an enhanced Point and Print connection to a print share. Drivers deployed to the driver store after the connection is made will not be used unless the connection is recreated, or a driver update is invoked on the queue.
The two main mechanisms for connecting to printers in an enterprise environment for Windows on Arm clients will be to connect to the printer directly, and to connect through a Windows Server print server using enhanced Point and Print. Other options are available, but extra care must be taken for those mechanisms to function properly. Windows 8 on ARM clients can connect directly to printers in enterprise environments using v4 class drivers.
To support direct connections, the following conditions must be met:. Ensure the clients can communicate with the printer on the network they must be on the same network, and not be blocked by any other technology like firewalls, or IPsec. Publish the IP address of the printer so that clients can connect to it directly typically requires the user to go through the Advanced Printer Wizard since printers are rarely on the same subnet as the user.
The disadvantages of direct connection is that IT Administrators do not have the option of using a print server to audit print jobs, service drivers, or establish custom default settings profiles. Each client computer independently connects and submits print jobs directly to the print device.
Any auditing or archival solutions will need to be enabled directly on the client computer or the print device. All of the deployment options available to other Windows 8 clients apply to Windows 8 running on ARM clients, so refer to the section on enhanced Point and Print for more details. The one exception is that ARM systems can only use the print drivers that ship with the operating system as well as basic enhanced Point and Print support.
Since an ARM client cannot join the domain, it will not be able to retrieve the list of published print shares from the Active Directory AD. Connections to shares can still be established by opening the URL for the share, clicking on a link to the share, or by navigating to the print share in Explorer. If a connection to a v3 print share is attempted, the Windows 8 on ARM system may prompt the user to provide a driver. Since there are no v3 drivers for ARM, this dialog should be dismissed.
ARM systems can also be configured to print to IPP print shares, if a compatible device driver is available in the local driver store. This does not rely on IPsec, or any other additional network services to provide a secure channel. Instead, it uses Secure WSD to establish a communication channel between the device and the print server. Windows Server Active Directory already contains the updates. The device will automatically authenticate with the Active Directory and update its computer account with the necessary information.
The print server must be in the same domain as the WSD Secure Print device, and have access to the Active Directory at the time making the connection. Adding a device through directed discovery can be accomplished a number of ways, but the primary user interface path is described below:.
In the drop down box, select Web Service Secure Printer , and specify the IP address or host name of the device in the text box below. When done, click Next. If the WSD Secure Print device is using a self-signed certificate, it will not be possible for the device to provide events back to the print server.
This can introduce minor delays in status updates on the print server and clients. This is expected behavior. WSD Secure Print devices do not require the deployment of trusted certificates to secure the connection between the print server and the device.
Supporting deployment of trusted certificates can enable two-way communication between the device and print server, providing better status and event handling, but this is an optional feature. Check with your manufacturer if your policies require the use of trusted certificates. Skip to main content.
