Network security question

by kiki1221 . Updated 5 years, 1 month ago

Hi there,

So, the company I am working at isn’t letting us upload anything that is on the company servers to a USB key. (to not get our files stolen)

We backup our machines programs to our servers. And sometimes I need to access this backup and put it back to a USB key or external hard drive to work with it on my (not connected to our servers) laptop.

Is it easily possible for IT to work with permissions like that:
Still block everything to be downloaded from our servers to external drives, but allow me only one specific folder where I can download?

For example I’d like to only be able to get what’s in the ”backups” folder. Everything else should remain blocked.
S:\somepath\anotherpath\backups

Just asking as some IT guys told me it’s impossible. I need it to work properly.

Thank you,
