Is it really related to software engineering? So far, it looks like system administration. Then it's off-topic.

In order to do this, you need to set up a user identity on the computer sharing the folder. You then share the folder and give appropriate access permissions to that user when you share it.

The remote PC's can then use the user name and password combination you specified to access the folder.

You can't specifically say "these computers only" - partly because the computer isn't important, it's the user of that computer that gets access.
