- TITLE :SFM: Macintosh Locked Folders Are Not Completely Secure
- PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10 FIXLIST3.10.001
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- After you either set the Read-Only file attribute or "lock" a folder
- from a Macintosh computer on a Services for Macintosh (SFM) shared
- subdirectory, you cannot drag files or folders from the same SFM
- volume to the locked folder. However, you can copy any other file from
- any other subdirectory (folder) on the SFM server, copy files from a
- different SFM server, or copy files from the local Macintosh hard
- drive to the locked folder.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To approximate a locked folder using SFM on a Windows NT Advanced
- Server computer, set the NTFS permissions for the desired subdirectory
- (folder) to Read-Only.
-
- For more information on setting permissions on SFM volumes, please
- refer to the Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh guide.
-
