Once a client downloads the file, they can easily change the attributes of the file >From read-only to Normal and modify them anyway.
Just can not do that on the files on the server. But to answer your question, sorry I do not know a way other than making them all PDF files however there are ways to convert a PDF file to another type and then be Able to make changes. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 4:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: protect downloaded files? Anyone know if there is a surefire way to make all downloaded files read-only? We have a client that wants to have files available to download, but the original author doesn't want to have them be able to be edited. We're talking PowerPoint, Word, PDF files here, BTW. Any advice on how to make this happen would be appreciated. We've found that even using the "Read Only" attribute in the file properties doesn't persist once a copy has been downloaded to the client.
