I need some help on sharing folders in OS/X. I'm coming from
PC/WinXP-Pro. I had a methodolosy in my network where I would share
the same folder under different names. For example, I shared the folder
with all my music files as "musc" and "music-write". The first was
read-only and the second read-write. This worked great to stop
unintentional modification of files.

This was very easy with Windows sharing, but I can't see how to do this
in OS/X. I just see the Sharing & Permissions panel of the get info
pop-up. How do I do this?

Thanks,

David

Are you trying to share these files between different user accounts on
the same Mac, or with different computers over a network?

Over a network (including SMB shares to some WinXP PCs).

In Mac OS X 10.6:

1. From the menu bar, choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
2. Click Sharing.
3. Unlock the Sharing panel if it is locked.
4. Under the Shared Folders list, click the [+] button.
5. In the file selection sheet, navigate to and highlight the folder you
want to share.
6. Click Add
7. The folder you selected should now appear in the Shared Folders list.
8. Use the Users list to control who has what type of access to the
shared folder.

He doesn't want to control the access by user. He wants the user to
select whether to access the shared folder in a read-only or read-write
manner, by choosing whether to mount music or music-write.
