No.
Rights to read let them have copy in their viewing software on their
machine.
Once on their machine your server cannot control what is done with it, like
saving it however their viewing software allows.
Rights management software, which has a higher entry than you are looking
for, can mitigate the issue, but even then people can still just take a
picture
of what is on the screen.

users connect to the server for viewing the files inside. Just cannot make
the files protected from copying ?

If the files in question are Word, PowerPoint, or Excel then you can
use Windows Rights Management Services for this.

As first stated, ths cannot be done with what comes free in Windows,
but use of rights management software can do this (but it has costs,
and does not stop picture taking).
