share a folder

[Sherif Shehab]

Hi guys ,

is there a way in javase to edit a folder properties and make it shareable over the network ?

Not without some OS custom coding. For Windows this means using JNI or calling an external tool (if such a tool exists). For UNIX this means editing the Samba configuration file and restarting the Samba daemon.

is there any examples using JNI ?

I don't know how to do that with C, C++ or C# code, so not from me. I think all you need to do is modify the registry but I really haven't even looked at this before.
