NTFS Drop Folder - Blocking Owner from changing files FB 05-19-2008

I have a complex Folder Tree with several Files/Folders and the customer
wants to create a proccess where the user puts ("drops") the file in the
folder tree and after that, the file must be innacessible.

Now is working with Write-Only NTFS Permissions on the folder tree

But the owner of the file can modify the file, and i don´t wanna that. I
want a true "drop" folder where once the file is "droped" in the folder, the
file must be innacessible for the owner too

i´m not talking about FTP, i´m talking about a regular Share/NTFS Folder Tree

If you are using Creator Owner in the list NTFS ACLS, remove it. Other than
that, we did run into some problems in regards to moving/copying files
between the same UNC path. Needed a patch + registry key from Microsoft to
force the operating system(s) (WinXP/Windows 2003) to recacl NTFS
persmissions. Once these things are in place, its easy to setup a blind
drop directory and use ABE to hide contents if necessary.

So out of curiosity, what operating system are you using and what have you
tried?

So what? The user can still change the ACL afterwards, since he remains as
the owner.

Not true if you set the right NTFS permissions. :)

Let me rephrase... your right, they retain Owner on the ownership tab, but
it is possible to allow write once and ensure that with propert ntfs acls,
that they can't change, read, delete, .etc.
