Creating a Write only share?

[Bonge Boo!]

This is being to do my head in. I want to create a number of folders in a
Share, which a particular user has privileges to See the contents of the
folder, can Write new files into the folder, but CANNOT open or delete files
in the folder.

Running on Windows 2000 or XP Pro.

If I have a Shared Folder that has Everyone set with Permission to connect
to the Share. I go into Security, add my User called Bob for the sake of
argument.

I assumed that List and Write would be sufficient. However if I do this I
get Write errors. Specifically "the file is on a network drive with create
but no modify privileges"

Anyone help me out with this? I'm going nuts.

hi,
think agan regarding what you want to do! how can you Write without Read? Do
you know a bit of Windows I/O Programming? Here's why you get Write Error:

The Disk Write Windows API depends on the Read API, in other words, the
write api was build atop read api. The Read restriction simply closes the
read api on a folder and it's subfolders and files. Hence you'll end up with
Write errror

Ok. So I think what you are saying is that its impossible to create a "Drop
folder" so people can place files in it, but not then read those files?

That nuts! Its an incredibly common requirement. A central folder to drop
reports for the boss, but not have them readable by every other member of
that Group.

You're sure you can't?
