Mark folders as unmovable

[foxbldr]

Hi,

Can somebody tell how to make folders 'unmovable' so that clients (Win 98, Xp) cannot move folders by using Windows explorer or DOS. Client should have the rights to read/write access to the folder.



Thanks

Give clients list access to the folder and read/write access to the contents. Remember to enable DENY on the delete access - which is what a move basically is. That is about as close as you're going to get. If you give your clients write access they will be able to copy the contents.

Hi

I did put a file into each of the directories where users have write, create, etc. access. A hidden file called
something like 0000000move.txt, flag it COPY INHIBIT, DELETE INHIBIT and RENAME INHIBIT. Because of the zero's in the filename, the file will be touched first, then an error is displayed at the beginning of the move process and prevents the data from being moved. The only drawback is, that the target folder gets created anyway.
