File & Folder Permissions

[SLingerUK]

Hi

I'm looking for a good web site that gives clear instructions on file &
folder permissions. I need to explain it to a user and am struggling to put
it in my own words.

Thanks in advance

Steve

The following may help for ntfs permissions. Share permissions are much less
complex and the first barrier to a network user trying to access a network
folder. For a network user, their effective permission will be the most
restrictive of the two permissions - share or ntfs. --- Steve
