Hi, I have previously posted this thinking it was an issue related to a
junction point, but this happens on regular folders. A user requested the
ability to copy files, not be able to modify them or delete within a
directory. I was able to set this up at home on a pure Win2K environment.
The ACL setting is as follows;

Read/Execute/Write with the following Special perms

Deny
    - Create Folders/Append Data
    - Delete Subfolders and Files
    - Delete

In my environment this works as expected, when applying this one of our
servers the files that the user has copied over is created without any data
(excel files). Had the user try a standard text file/wordpad file with the
same result.

I am at a loss as to how this user is not able to do the same thing I was
able to emulate in the lab. Could it be a client OS issue? Win2K server on
NT domain issue. I really do not what is going on. Anybody ran into this
before???
