keeping a remote user in one and only one folder.

Is there any way to share a folder over the network that prevents users on
other computers in the network from using the UPARROW key to get from the
intentional shared folder to its parent folder and eventually to the root.

This seems like a thing people would want to do, but I can find nothing in
the help files. Why can a remote user out of the only shared folder on my
computer?

A thought, I've been trying this between my two computers, and I have the
same exact user name on both. Also my profle on both have administrator
privileges.

Any hit appreciated.

Example computer A and computer B. User logs on to computer A as
administrator. That *same* account (username and password) is the
Administrator of Computer B.

You connect to computer B from computer A. Computer B sees your account as
the Administrator of computer B and gives it administrator access.

Create a user (the same username same password) on computer A and computer B
that is not an administrator. Share a folder on computer B and grant the new
non admin account permission to the folder. Log in to Computer A with the
new non admin account and connect to the shared folder on computer B. It
should now behave as you expect.
