Chapter 12: Using Your Computer on a Network 203
Giving away ownership of a folder or disk on
your computer
You can give away ownership of a shared folder or disk on your
computer to a registered user or group.
Because you are the owner of your computer, the new owner of a
folder or disk on your computer cannot restrict your access to it.
However, the new owner can change the access privileges
that other people have to the item. If you give away ownership of
a folder or disk, make sure to remove any folders or documents
that you don’t want others to see or change.
1. Select a shared folder or disk.
2. Choose Sharing from the File menu.
3. Choose a name in the Owner pop-up menu.
If you select <Any User>, then anyone on the network can
change the access privileges or ownership of the item.
4. Close the window and click Save in the dialog box.
5. Click OK to confirm that you want to change
ownership.
Turning file sharing off
You can turn file sharing off at any time. When file sharing is off,
people on the network cannot access folders or disks on your
computer, and you cannot access your computer from another
computer on the network.
When you turn file sharing back on, the items you shared before
are available again automatically.
1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and
open the Sharing Setup icon.
