In tip 3360, I described how to remotely share a resource in any Windows NT-based operating system.

Microsoft has placed the RMTShare.exe program on their FTP site at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/i386/RMTSHAR.EXE.

After downloading RMTSHAR.EXE, double-click it to extract the Readme.txt and Rmtshare.exe files. Copy Rmtshare.exe to a folder in your path.

NOTE: The RMTSHARE syntax is:

RMTSHARE  \\server
          \\server\sharename

          \\server\sharename=drive:path [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
                               [/REMARK:"text"]
                               [/GRANT [user\[:perm][ /GRANT user\[:perm]]]]
                               [/REMOVE user]

          \\server\sharename=printername /PRINTER [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
                               [/REMARK:"text"]
                               [/GRANT [user\[:perm][ /GRANT user\[:perm]]]]
                               [/REMOVE user]

          \\server\sharename [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
                               [/REMARK:"text"]
                               [/GRANT [user\[:perm][ /GRANT user\[:perm]]]]
                               [/REMOVE user]

          \\server\sharename /DELETE

NOTE: If a sharename or path contains spaces, it should be enclosed in quotes:
            \\server\"with space"="c:\with space"
