Preventing Excel files from being moved or deleted

What permissions setting is used to prevent users from moving or deleting an
Excel file on a network?
 
This is more of an network operating system setting question.

I would think putting the file on a share that the users only had readonly
access would be enough.

But this would mean that the users could still copy (not move) the file.

And they wouldn't be able to update the workbook.
 
All explained in Start>Help and Support "permissions"

Not an Excel issue.
