Copy only permission

I have a folder on a server (Server 2003 os, workstations are XP) and I'd
like to set up permissions so that "everyone" can only copy a file in to the
folder only. I don't want the general public to be able to open the files or
copy the files back to their computer to read them.
Is this possible?
I am trying to keep users from looking at other associates time sheets, it's
a privacy thing.

Thanks!

You could try creating a drop folder as explained in the link below by
giving the users/group only write permissions to the folder.

Drop Folder
To create a drop folder, grant the Write permission to the Users or Everyone
built-in groups for the folder, and grant the Modify permission to the
manager who is to read the files in the folder. 1. Click Start, point to
Programs, point to Accessories, click Windows Explorer, and then locate the
folder for which you want to set permissions. In this example, use the
folder called Drop and the user named Manager1.
2. Right-click the Drop folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.
3. Click the Everyone group. If the Everyone group is not listed, you
can add the group by clicking Add.
4. Click Allow for the Write permission, and then click to clear the
check boxes for the remaining permissions.
5. Click Deny for Read & Execute. This will also explicitly deny
permissions for the List Folder Contents and Read permissions.
6. Keep the Everyone group and remove all other listed groups and
users. To do this, click a group or user, and then click Remove.
7. Click Add, and then add the appropriate user. In this example, add
Manager1. Click OK.
8. In Permissions, click the Manager1 user, click to clear the Full
Control check box, and then click Allow for the Modify permission.
NOTE: Give access to local system folders or subfolders only to
administrators or server operators.
