Incorrect. Since it is a shared network folder and not
located on the same system, Windows 98 can read data on
the shared folder regardless of file system.

A Windows 98 computer can access a file though a share regardless of what
format the drive hosting the share uses.

"Kenny" is correct. File system makes no difference.
What it comes down to is:

Do the Sharing permissions allow the Windows 98 user to
connect?
Do the NTFS permissions allow the Win98 client?

If yes to both, then the folders and files are available,
regardless of file system.

Well dfc (is that acronym for Don't Friggin Care?)

The answer is YES to being able to read files and folders
on an NTFS drive if the permissions are right.

Think about this: Lots of people have connected Windows
95/98 clients in the past to NT servers. NTFS was never a
hindrance to this in the past, so why now?

Shall we go back to Joshua's original question:

Can a Win98 machine formatted with FAT access a share on a Win2k machine if
the Win2k machine is NTFS

And the answer is yes it bloody well can.
