Password protected network shared folder

I have a user on my network who wishes to share a folder on his personal
office machine with another office worker.

I have been told that I would have to first create an account on his machine
for the remote user, create a shared folder and then allow the new user
access to the folder.

Is there a way of creating a network shared folder that allows remote user
authenticated access, without having to create a new user on the local
machine?

Both machines are running Windows XP Professional.

Thanks in advance,

Sandy Spence

If this is an office environment this should NOT be done.
The file(s) should be shared on the server and access controlled by the Domain Account Share
Permissions and NTFS Permissions.
