Limiting shares between two WDTV

With a master WDTV live Plus with USB drives is there anyway of limiting folders to be shared.

I have remote WDTV live plus on the local network with no drives that can play iso’s over the network.

I want to share some folder and not all or password protect some folders. I have a folder of R rated horror movies, I want to prevent my kids from seeing that folder. I can put these on a separate drive if needed. I can only see a way of sharing all or nothing

thanks HP

Nope, no way to do that using the WDTV’s functions.

As I mentioned in the other post, you’d be better off with a NAS system which has much more flexible user priviledge levels (like I do with my QNAP.)
