NTFS Permissions

Hi All,

I have looked everywhere I can think of, and this is my port of last
resort...
It's probably very simple, but I'm stuck.

On a 2000 Server, I have a shared folder (Accounts) like this;

Accounts
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
SubfolderA
SubfolderB
SubfolderC
SubfolderD
Folder4

I need to give access for one user to SubfolderC only.

I have given the user List permission at the root folder Accounts and Deny
for all folders except Folder3.

How do I make it so the user only sees this;

Accounts
Folder1 (access denied - these are OK for Folders 1, 2, 4)
Folder2 (access denied)
Folder3
SubfolderC (modify)
Folder4 (access denied)

Any suggestions please?

I've had a similar issue, and what I did for a work around was this:

Share SubfolderC to the user(s) that you want access to. When they go into
the Network Neighborhood to access it, they will see SubfolderC and be able
to access it and any sub-subfolders, but not be able to step up to the
parent folder.

HTH for now, at least until someone else can pass you a better solution.

Thanks BD,

I did try your method first as a share, and that was OK, but I did actually
get it to work as I have it below - by a fluke - then I went and pressed
some more keys and lost it... Now I can't remember how to get it back.
It just seems neater if I can do it as below;

Accounts
Folder1 (access denied - these are OK for Folders 1, 2, 4)
Folder2 (access denied)
Folder3
SubfolderC (modify)
Folder4 (access denied)

Oh, BTW, I forgot to add, BD, that while the share method seemed OK for me
at first, the reason I couldn't use it was that the Folder in question
needed files in the Folders above to run. So I have to do it the 'other'
way...

I feel your pain....I hate messing with the M$ permissions, as simple as they
should be, they always get to be more cumbersome than they should.

Absolutely, and if I can figure something out in the course of my normal day,
I'll post it here for you.

That's M$'s way of telling you that they OWN you.

Add that user on the Accounts folder with "List Folder Contents" permission
only. Folder3 and Subfolders below it will inherite automatically that
permission so you don't have to do anything else. Now just like you already
did, give the person the "Modify" permission for the Subfolder C and you are
done. The user will be able to see all folders under the Accounts but will
not have any access to any of them except Subfolder C. It is not a really
good practic to use Deny freely all the time.

No, but checking off "Deny" sure gives you a rush of adrenaline, doesn't it?
