Hi,

I want to create a folder in which all users can add and read files but
cannot modify these same files after they have been written to the folder.

Iknow this is possible with FTP, but in this case we are just using standard
file and print sharing.

Appreciate any advice!!

PS: My apolgies if this is not sent to the correct group?

Cheers,
Andrew
 
Give the users read/list/write permissions to the folder and not modify.
However you will still have a problem in that users will be able to modify
their own files because the current Windows security model allows the owner
to do such as per the creator owner placeholder you see in advanced
permissions for folders. You can change creator owner to be read/list/write
but the owner would still have the ability to change permissions on his
files to give himself the ability to modify them if he knew how to and was
so inclined. Using Group Policy to hide the security tab can help reduce
that problem but will not stop command line tools such as cacls. -- Steve
