I am havning problems saving files to a Shared Folder. When I set the SECURITY permissions to DENY the DELETE and DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES.
OS=WinXPPro & Office2K. When I attempt to save to Shared Folder I get a message “the folder is READ ONLY” I have UNCHECKED READ ONLY on the Shared Folder (Hopeing that it will remove the READ ONLY). When I check the propeties a second time READ ONLY with a Grey Check Mark is back. If I remove the DENY DELETE and DELETE SUBFOLDER AND FILES from the SECURITY tab I am able to save to the shared folder. Has anyone else experienced this & is there a soloution any help is appreciated
I do not want to allow any user, but Admins, to delete folders or files within the Shared Folder. I have tried using DENY DELETE & DENY DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES each of them separate. I have also tried unchecking the ALLOW DELETE & DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES & users are able to delete files & folders. For some reason both DELETE & DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES need to be DENY in order to prevent users from deleting files/folders in the shared folder. But when both are checked I get the Folder is READ ONLY Message and doesn’t allow me to save to the Shared Folder.
This is what I’ve done:
ADDED A SHARED FOLDER called Shared Folder in the E:\ (E:\SHARED FOLDER). I Added EVERYONE, ADMINISTRATOR, & USER285 & given FULL CONTROL in the SHARED PERMISSIONS tab. In the SECURITY tab I have given ADMINISTRATOR FULL CONTROL and EVERYONE & USER285 READ & EXECUTE, LIST FOLDER CONTENTS, READ, WRITE, & SPECIAL is grey with grey check in ALLOW & DENY. The ADVANCE shows that EVERYONE & USEER285 have DENY SPECIAL (With Check marks in DENY on DELETE and DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES) and they also have ALLOW everyting checked except FULL CONTROL & DELETE & DELETE SUBFOLDERS AND FILES. These setting do not allow any user to DELETE any files/folder(Except for Administrators) but these setting also prevent me from saving a doc because I get the Folder is READ ONLY
