I am in need of giving a new user access to a network share. Not the entire share, only one folder in the share. I have clicked the folder in the share, I want this user to have access to, and given full permissions, however anytime the user tries to access the share they get an error message of
Windows can not access
\\servername\shares\mainshare\department\spreadsheets
Check the spelling of the name. otherwise, there might be a problem with
your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems
click Diagnose
EDIT
It is a windows 7 machine attempting to connect to a share on a Windows Server 2008 machine.
EDIT # 2
I have attempted multiple times of right clicking the folder, choosing the security tab, clicking advanced and setting the user settings like below:
Type = Allow
Name = username
Permission = Full COntrol
Inherited From = not inherited
Apply To = this folder, subfolders and files
However, this still produces the error message.
