What problems did you run into when trying to use SharePoints?

This SharePoints config works for me for public shares (important bits circled in red).
It's important that, if you want the shared folder accessible by guests, that the permissions have read-access all the way down to it. (E.g., to share your ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library/ folder, ~, Music, iTunes, and iTunes Library all need to be world-readable.) Also make sure you're in the same workgroup as your Windows friends in the SMB props tab. SharePoints is definitely one of the best OSX utilities, bar none. |
