Question XP Network File Sharing

Hi, me, being the nice guy that I am, have decided to share my files with my roomies. Now I am a PC Tech, so I know what I'm doing as far as the basic network setup goes using my router, etc. We all are running XP Pro. What I was wondering is, if there is a way that I can make it so that rather than allowing my roomies to just beable to look at my files, they would have to log onto my machine using a (User Name-Password) popup. Also, would there be a way for me to beable to log everything that they download off of my computer?

Thanks in advance

If you right click a folder that you want to let them access and click share the box that pops up give you the option of requiring a password. Now if you go someplace like www.webattack.com and go to the freeware section you will find all kinds of free programs that log ip's, key strokes, and a whole bunch of other monitoring tricks.

make the file sharing simple with IIS since you are in the isolated network. Install IIS run FTP off your system then dump the files you want to share in to the FTP folder, that it.

cheers
