Sharing from an outside computer to a network drive on VPC 7

Message:

I have question about sharing files between computers. I am using OS
X 10.2 with windows file sharing on. It only lets me share to a
particular directory which includes OS X. I had to partition my hard
drive because I have multiple systems on the computer. However I only
have about 4 gigs of space on the OS X Partition. I wanted to be able
to file share to the bigger partition of the drive. I know you can
setup Network Drives in VPC7, but I was wondering if I could access
them (Network Drives) from an outside computer (Either on the Network
or via Internet)?

I can't find any options that allow me to share the Network Drives Ex
Drive Z, with a computer other than the one runing VPC7. I wanted to
transfer files from One Computer to another using the Bigger Hard Drive
(Network Drive Z).

Can anyone help me with this situation?

Thanks,

John

You could try mounting the drive from the "outside Mac" to your Mac
using AppleShare (Personal File Sharing in the Preferences), and looking
for the mount point in /Volumes/<AFPvolname>. Then, you could get
Virtual PC to make that directory (or some directory inside it) a network
drive.
