File Permissions

I am still learning about file permissions so please bear with me for the basic question.

 

I have a folder on the server that users have access to.  The only things I want them to be able to do are to read and copy to and from the folder.  No renaming folders or files, creating folders or deleting folders.

 

On a test share I was able to deny deleting files and folders deny creating new folders and deny moving files or folders but they are still able to rename files and folders.

 

I shared the folder, set the share permissions to full control for everyone and then set the NTFS permissions for users to get what I have described above.

 

What is the best practice for permissions for my scenario?

 

Thanks for the help

Thanks Glenn & Ray for the info.

 

 

Give them read access to the folder...

 

Make the file permissions the standard "read" permissions of Read, Read and Execute, and List Folder Contents.

 

Do not deny them anything...
