I have four macs networked together and everyone can see everything on every
computer. That's great for me (the owner).
I want to share  ONLY a FOLDER on my machine with my daughter so she can send a
file over here when she's done with it and needs to print it from here.
Homework season is just around the corner. I want her to be able to do all her
websearching/research, and get everything all typed up, from her room. Then all
she has to do from here is print out her homework.
How do I set up a Shared Folder?  I seen some type of option while installing my
OS.8
Hope you can help, thanks.....DaveC....

Give this link a try:

From what I can remember you should just be able to go to the sharing
control panel and within that select the single folder you want shared.
At any rate the above link has the manuals for all versions of system
8.  Good luck

Thanks for your help. I experiemented around some more. I guess I turn File
Sharring OFF on All my hdd partitions, and created a folder on the DESKTOP for
"Shannon" to share. What I learned is that Since I'm the Qwner, I can still use
MY PassWord to access the hdd's that had FileSharing OFF.
Thanks for your help......DaveC....
