How to prevent files from being copied (vnx 5500)

Hi,

I have a shared folder and a windows domain group which only has read permissions but,

I would like that this group couldn't copy the files contained in the folder, only read the files.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

no - of course not

a copy is nothing more than a read of the file followed by writing.

A server cannot determine for which purpose you are reading a file and what you do with it afterwards.

You would need something a couple of layers higher on the client OS or in the application like DRM
