How to Create Write Only Mac Volumes

MORE INFORMATION

To create folders in which Macintosh clients only have the Write Permission, follow these steps on the Windows NT Server with Services for Macintosh installed:

1. Create a default Macintosh Volume using the MacFile menu in File Manager (Winfile.exe). For example, create a directory called C:\MacFolder.
   
   If the Volume is already created, proceed to Step #2.
2. From the Macfile Menu, click Permissions. Check the following boxes for the Everyone group:

   X See Folders
   X See Files
   X Make Changes

3. Create a subdirectory in the Macintosh Volume. For example, C:\MacFolder\Files. Select this new Files folder.
4. From the MacFile menu, click Permissions. Check the following box for the Everyone group:

   X Make Changes

When Macintosh clients log into this Windows NT Server, they are able to select the Macintosh volume with See Files and See Folders permission. After they have selected this volume, the folder will appear on their desktop. When they double-click on the folder (volume), the subdirectory Files will appear as a normal folder but it will have a Belt around it. This prevents users from being able to open the folder and viewing its contents, but will still be able to drag and drop files into that folder.
