Re: Deny Explorer Browsing while enable copying files?

Hi,

does anybody know if it is possible to deny browsing a folder with
Windows Explorer (listing of folder contents) while keeping the
enablity to copy files/folders from it with the copy-command?
The idea behind is that it should be possible to copy files from a
share/folder if the user knows the complete path but NOT to allow him
to browse the share/folder or copy files from it with the Windows
Explorer. Additional info: the copy commands will be executed by an
application that builds the source pathes from a database.


It is possible. Set the ACL for the folder as follows. Make two entries for
the same principal
1. Allow everything except List Files for the *folder only*
2. Allow everything for *subfolders and files*

Be aware that you won't be able to test with explorer or command shell (or
many other applications) since they they do more than necessary when you try
to access the file. Try to open the file in notepad by just typing the name
into the open dialog or from code.
