I need to restrict a folder on a shared drive on a server. I am allowed to simply create the folder, right click, properties, click the security tab and modify the permissions of this newly created folder.
I currently have everyone listed as read only and a few individuals full access. I need to prevent this 'everyone' group from opening files from this folder and all of it's subfolders but they need to be able to copy files out of it.
It works like this, they open a batch file that copies the file out of this folder and into their my documents folder. They will NEVER copy this file back, it's simply for reference only.
Once in a while, someone opens a file directly from the folder and even though they are read only, it makes it impossible to update this file until they close it. This cannot happen. I need to prevent them from opening the file from this folder. I would even accept preventing them from browsing this folder entirely as long as this batch file will continue to work.
Any thoughts?
