Share & Folder Permissions

[RECOiL™]

I have a folder D:\Share - I wish to stop people from being able to save data in this folder (unless they are part of certain groups.

I wish people to be able to save data in D:\Share\Folders - But I dont actually wish \folders to be a share.

I am confused with how to do this. I set for "everyone" gorup able to read D:\Share\ and under the security tab for each of the "folders" in D:\Share I set for the groups \users I want with more permissions to be able to write to the folders but it says access denied.

Help!

the share permissions control connectivity only not file system permissions

So if you set the share to "everyone" then that means everyone can connect to it - not do things with it.

You then need to set folder permissions - so eg:

you can set "everyone read" on the folder d:\share and allow that to filter down recursivly, you can then set write access to a specific group on d:\share\folder and not set it recursivly, that way everyone can read d:\share\folder, but only members of your selected group can write to d:\share\folders

You need to set the Share permission for Everyone WRITE, then the NTFS (Security) permissions to control the specific users/groups on D:\Share.

i.e.
D:\Share itself needs Everyone READ access with "inherit permissions" disabled
- this will allow users to browse through the Server service to see the share and view the contents

D:\Share\Folders needs Everyone WRITE access
- this will allow users to create/edit/delete files and folders under this sub-folder
