Share EFS protected folder

[aconti]

Hello if I have a folder with a test file and the folder is encrypted with EFS. Lets say that I want to share it and give share and NTFS permissions to another user on the domain. A different user from the one who originally encrypted the folder. To be able to open the text file inside the other user has to be added to the Details tab next to the encryption checkbox right and it does not make any difference whether the user is trying to access the text file from the network or locally from the same pc which has the encrypted file.


Thank you

that article goes in to much detail, what I just want to ask if I have to add users in the details tab so that they can read the encrypted shared file when they access it from the network that's all ?

Thank you

Hello aconti,

Forget to mention, when you need the folder use WebDAV as described in the
article in the fist link.
