Re: File sharing in W2k3

I guess it would have been clearer if I said: If the user or some group of
which the user is a member does not have write or better NTFS (Security)
permissions on the shared folder, then the user cannot have write access to
a subfolder accessed through the share. This will not change even if you
give the user Full Control NTFS permissions on the subfolder and/or Full
Control Share permissions on the shared folder.

Not enough information. If the group does not have write or better NTFS
(Security) permissions on the shared folder, then it will not have write
or
better access to a subfolder accessed through the share. This is so
regardless of what NTFS permissions are assigned to the subfolder.

Hi,

I have a directory which is shared on a Windows 2k3 standard box. I
don't wish people to be able to write to it, but I need people in a
Windows 2000 AD group to be able to write in a specific directory
below the share.

I shared the root folder on the drive using everyone giving them read
and write permissions. I then set the permissions on the specific
folder in the share so that the specific group had modify permissions.
However, it does not work.

The only way I could seem to get it to work was to give the everyone
group in the share full control then give the everyone user on the
root folder full control - then it appeared to work normally, however,
wish to tie it down.

I looked at the permissions on my solitary W2k3 box at home and they
seem very similar to how I had things set up, but this works and the
one at work doesn't.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Andrew.
