How do I create drive mappings between computer via the network domain

I've been working on this all morning and am getting nowhere. Any help would truly be appreciated.

Two computers are in our network. I am trying to set up a mapping to the C drive of Computer2 from Computer1. Likewise I am trying to set up a mapping to the C drive of Computer1 from Computer2. Basically, we want to copy infor back and forth from each C drive.

How would I go about doing this? I have tried creating a share on the respective C drives(tried C and C$), but am only able to access them when logged in as administrator of the domain on each computer. If I try logging in as the user id (Cafeuser) who is going to be performing the work on these two computers I am not able to map from one computer to the other's respective C drives. it only seems to work with the domain Administrator ID.

I checked the permissions and I gave full control to the domain CafeUser ID, but it still wont let me connect under that domain logon. I am wondering if I am missing a step here.

thanks

 

First, it is bad practice to share a whole C drive. Doing so gives easy access to all your system files from anywhere on the network. It is much better practice to only share the folders containing the files you want to provide remote access to.

To allow normal domain users to access a share you have to add "domain users" to both the share permissions and the folder permissions.
