  • Share permissions can be used when sharing folders in FAT and FAT32 file systems; NTFS permissions can’t.
  • NTFS permissions apply to users who are logged on to the server locally; share permissions don’t.
  • Unlike NTFS permissions, share permissions allow you to restrict the number of concurrent connections to a shared folder.
  • Share permissions are configured in the “Advanced Sharing” properties in the “Permissions” settings. NTFS permissions are configured on the Security tab in the file or folder properties.
