Hi,

1 server, 25 machines connecting to it
I like to ask in Windows XP professional (or family)
is there a way to let users accessing a folder in the server
without being able to copy files from it in any way? (explorer, DOS..etc)
please tell me how to set the permission in detail

many thanks! ;)

I don't think there is. You can give List permision only but that means they can see it but not open it. If they can open it then it can be saved to another location. While this may not be the same as a direct copy through explorer, it still means it has been coppied.

If you are using the latest version of Office (2003), and if these documents will be Office documents, you might want to look into Windows Rights Management. I haven't worked with this, but supposedly it will allow you to restrict on a document by document basis, whether anything can be edited or even copied. I don't think it's an overall permissions issue, though, and the impression I've gotten is that it has to be done on a document-by-document basis.

Hope this helps!
