Can anyone tell me how i can restrict a user from deleting a file or a folder?
I need them to be able to modify a file (i.e a word doc) but they can not delete it.

If there is no way to do it with file permission then is there a good software out there to prevent this?

Thanks

This is done in security settings on that folder under the advance settings.
 
dberg35,
Thank you for your reply.
I figured it is done from that side but when I remove the 2 deletes then the user cannot save the file.
Any ideas?

Thank you,
Assaf
 
Set the folder permissions but do not have them be inheritable. Then set the permissions of the doc to what you need.
