Re: Disallow File or Directory Copy

If you can read it, you can copy it. On thought though, have you looked at
any alternatives? Perhaps you could keep the user from writing the file to
specific locations. AV or quota management settings could be used to keep
the specific file off the local computer or home directory depending on what
you're using.

I am trying to figure out how to prevent users from copying a file or
directory from the corporate network. The problem I have run into is
a user inadvertently copying a shared database to another location.
They now continue to use the wrong database and enter\modify data.
Once they realize something is wrong it takes some time to fix the
issue.

I am surprised that there is no security setting in Windows to
disallow copying of a directory or file. I was playing with the idea
of hiding the directory and creating another directory with shortcuts
only in it but that gets messy.

Has anyone else had a problem with this?

Thanks,
