File doesn't get same permission as Directory

[francoislaroche]

I have a directory on my server. The permissions on this directory are as follow:

Administrators Group = Total Control
desden (user whose directory this is) = Total Control
Everyone = Write only (W)

The goal is to use this directory so that people (students in particular) can give files to their teacher, without other students being able to open those files (thus the W only permission for everyone).

Now, someone other than desden and administrator logs on a Win98 computer on my server domain. That person creates a .txt file with notepad, and save it in My Documents. Then, it copy the file, and paste it in the directory from my server.

Normally (at least that's what everybody told me), the file should take the permissions from it's directory. But, when I go check those permissions on the .txt file on the server, they are as follow:

Administrators Group = Total Control
desden (user whose directory this is) = Total Control
Everyone = Total Control

How comes Everyone gets Total Control on the file, and how can I make it so that Everyone can place files in this directory, but that nobody except Administrators and the concerned user (in that case, desden) can read or open a file from the directory?

Don't give Everyone Write permissions. Give them Add permissions. Write lets them be the Owner of the file and the file assumes the default permissions of the folder.
