Re: Deny folders creation/deletion without altering files accesses

Yes the Advanced Special Permissions is what I used, but if you look in there
the option is actually called "Create Folders / Append Data", so I thought I
could deny this and have it apply to "This folder and subfolders" and then
create another entry that would allow it and only apply to "Files only", but
it didn't work :(

I'm very surprised there isn't a way to do this simple thing...
