Windows File share bug (7 and vista)

Mussels · Feb 14, 2009

Short version.

We have an internet PC in the house, which downloads into a shared folder on the network for everyone to access the files.

Since its on one of my machines, when i access the share it uses my username and i see all updated files and everythings happy.

When other people access, they either use "everyone" (vista) or "homegroup" (7) as permissions, and they only see files added BEFORE the share was created. If i download new files, i have to un-share and re-share the entire folder (which sucks) for them to see the latest files.

Someone else has had this problem, here.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? its pissing me off having to reshare the same folder every day. (FWIW, i had this issue on this machine when it was on vista, and the problem is still there on 7)

Security Options? Or are you creating your share by and as named administrator?

New files will only inherit permissions from originating user, and if you are the named administrator the files will be protected by default.

"Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts

This security setting determines how network logons using local accounts are authenticated. If this setting is set to Classic, network logons that use local account credentials authenticate by using those credentials. The Classic model allows fine control over access to resources. By using the Classic model, you can grant different types of access to different users for the same resource.
If this setting is set to Guest only, network logons that use local accounts are automatically mapped to the Guest account. By using the Guest model, you can have all users treated equally. All users authenticate as Guest, and they all receive the same level of access to a given resource, which can be either Read-only or Modify.

Default on domain computers: Classic.
Default on stand-alone computers: Guest only

Important

With the Guest only model, any user who can access your computer over the network (including anonymous Internet users) can access your shared resources. You must use the Windows Firewall or other similar device to protect your computer from unauthorized access. Similarly, with the Classic model, local accounts must be password protected; otherwise, those user accounts can be used by anyone to access shared system resources.

Note:

This setting does not affect interactive logons that are performed remotely by using such services as Telnet or Terminal Services
This policy will have no impact on computers running Windows 2000.
When the computer is not joined to a domain, this setting also modifies the Sharing and Security tabs in the Windows Explorer to correspond to the sharing and security model that is being used."

i'm simply creating a share via the right click method.

There is no 'classic' model here - thats the way XP did it, and i'm on vista and 7. 7 for example, has homegroup share control, or user access share control. I'm using user access, and that means everyone registers as a guest. I can alter guests permissions, but the share simply doesnt auto update to include new files.

Thanks for that info, but it doesnt seem relevant.

I've had occasions where I couldn't get sharing to work properly but if I use the public folder it all seems ok.

As the permissions of "everyone" applies to anonamous. And administratively naming a share to allow full access changes the credentials for everyone.

The windows 7 setting which i think does what im looking for is in the screenshot below.

Thanks for your help steevo, even if this doesnt work you at least gave me a good hint.

The named share by administrator goes hand in hand with the user account settings.
