Ok, a teacher at school(high school) asked me if there was any way for her students to save their work into a network folder so she could have easy access to them to pull them up and grade. I told her yes, but there would be the risk of bad students tampering with the files since they have access to them and could possibly ruin other students’ work. Is there any way for the students to save their work somewhere that the teacher could get to it, but other students can’t mess with it??? thanks for tryin to help me out.
There are several ways to accomplish that task.
Here are three listed in order of Lowest Cost, easiest to do —> Higher cost, more setup involved.
It would help to know what OS is running that you want the "shared folder" to be installed on??
Some allow username and password sharing to specific folders. Any of the following will also work just fine.
OR
1. Use a NAS (network attached storage) drive. Assign each student to a specific folder on the drive and give each student a password and username. They will then only be able to access their own folder, the ADMIN (teacher) would be able to access all of them.
2. Setup a simple linux server, setup each student as a user, each "home" folder will be isolated for each student. Again the Admin will have access to all, the student just to his.
3. Setup a full Domain Server using MS Server 2008 setup each student as a user, specify which folders he has access to and where you want his work stored. Each students login will put them into the correct folder on login.
The Linux server is the best in my opinion, Linux is easy to use and will do a good job as long as it is setup correctly. Cost is minimal and linux will run on just about any old computer you might have sitting around! Many of the NAS units available actually are running linux so they to are a usable low cost solution.

plzzzzzzzz help me in sharing the network I want to share my pc witn my brother next room but I can’t!!!
Go to control panel and click on System. Then select the ‘computer name’ tab. Be sure the "workgroup" is the same on both yours and his computer. If not, click the ‘Change’ button and make them "exactly" (upper/lower case) the same. Be sure you have different names for the ‘full computer names.’
This would be a good time to put ‘My Computer’ and ‘My Network Places’ on your desktop. Right click on a free place on your desktop… then select "Properties." Then select the ‘Desktop’ tab and then click on the ‘Customize Desktop.’ Be sure ‘My Computer’ and ‘My Network Places’ are checked.
Now you need to find something to share. Try sharing a folder on your hard drive first. You "share" with the other person… so you are looking for a folder that you are going to share with your brother. Go to "My Computer" on the desktop and find a folder on your drive C that you want to share. Right click on that folder and select "properties."
Select the tab ’sharing.’ Check the box that says, "Share this computer on the network." Also select "allow network users to change my files." You do this so you will know what is possible. Later you can restrict it more so someone on the network can’t change your files. For now it is a good test. Before all this sharing stuff, you might get a very serious warning for the first time since they want you to know how it opens you up to anyone on the network.
Now, go to your brother’s machine and click on "My Network Places" From here you want to click on "View network computers" (on the left side of the screen). Keep double clicking and you will eventually see the folder that you "shared."
You do just the reverse where you can have him share a folder for you.
If you have problems be sure you are both on the same router. Still having problems, reboot both machines and let them sit for ten or twenty minutes so they can talk to each other.
