I'm using Radmin VPN for the first time. I installed Radmin on two PCs connected to the internet and verified that the remote computer can see the main PC via ping, but now I don't know how to set up the shared folder on the main PC. Can anyone help me, please?
Hello!
Check Sharing and Permissions on the Target Machine
On the machine hosting the shared folder:
Verify the Shared Folder:
Open File Explorer > Right-click the folder > Properties > Sharing tab.
Confirm the folder is shared with the correct Share Name and permissions (e.g., "Everyone" or specific users).
Enable Network Discovery and File Sharing
On both the host and client machines:
Open Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings.
Ensure the following are enabled:
Network Discovery
File and Printer Sharing
Turn off password-protected sharing (if you don’t want to use a password) or ensure the target machine’s user account has a password.
Check Firewall and Network Connectivity
Ensure the Windows Defender Firewall allows file sharing:
Go to Control Panel > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature.
Enable File and Printer Sharing for both Private and Public networks.
Test connectivity using the target machine’s IP address instead of its hostname (to rule out DNS issues).
