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
