Is it possible to daisy chain a shared folder in Windows? As in:
Machine A only has permission to talk to B, and A is sharing a folder to B. C wants a file in A's shared directory. Can B re-share the directory from A and serve it to C?

Most Microsoft people will tell you that you should set your permissions correctly at the NTFS level and then open up your shares unless you have some really good reason for doing the permissions at the share level. There is a lot of flexibility in NTFS permissioning that should let you do whatever it is you need to do and having the files RW at the file system level is a big security hole if one of your employees manages to log on locally somehow.

I've never seen or heard of this so at first blush I'd have to say that it isn't possible. B can't share a non-local resource, nor can it "reshare" a share on A that it's connected to.
