SharePoints is an application or a preference pane that makes it easy to add and delete share points like in the old Finder. In Mac OS X, by default, you are limited to sharing only what is in your public folder in your home directory. This program makes it easy to share any folder.
In addition SharePoints also brings back users and groups management to Mac OS X as well as easy configuration of AppleFileServer (AFS) and Samba (SMB) Server properties.
To add a share using Share Points, follow these 3 steps.
-Download SharePoints.
-Launch SharePoints and use it to add or delete share points and to set the permissions for the share directory.
***Caution: SharePoints only modifies the permissions on the directory that is shared. All directories residing within the shared directory retain their original permissions.***
-Connect to the share from another machine with a non-admin user.
Author's Note: It has been reported that folders that reside on a disk formatted as a HFS disk will not be shared. You can check the format of your disk by getting info for the disk in the Finder. If it says "Format: Mac OS Extended", then everything should work well.
