i noticed you put deny read permission in the special permissions. Deny will allows override any other settings. So if you have out deny read for example, even though you have given them read permissions the user wont be able to read the folder due to the deny permission. Try removing the DENY Read permission

thanks david for your quick reply
read permission means permissions which is applied by administrator on shared folder.i want to ristrict user to right click folder go security tab and see the permissions.i do not mean read permission (open file and read content)
sorry for bad english

by david.wallis

if you grant them modify access only, and they dont have administrator rights, then they shouldnt be able to change the permissions on there

i will check and let you know.
can you tell me how can i stop users to creating folder in shared folder

by david.wallis

if you have given them change permissions, they will always be able to create folders....
but they need this permission in order to write files to that directory

what i would do is giev them very basic permissions like read / list folder contecnts (dont give them write) and then in the special permissions /effective permissions, give them what they need in there

by computerfeeder

i did as you told me david
share folder-read permission
security -read,list folder content etc(write permission not included)
advance -select user edit applied special permission -list folder content,read data create files write data(create folder/append folder not selected) on other computer user can open file read it but cant write anything?? cannt save file
tell me where should i apply this permissions.onto folder only,folder files,folder sub folder,files etc.???

by david.wallis

they also need the change permission to be able to write files :)
