Er! If the permissions on the directory structure and file are set to only allow 'Read' How is the file to be changed?
That is how is a different version of the file to be set in the place of the original You cannot easily stop people copying a file simply because that's what is happening constantly within a computer Internally the computer never moves things, it always copies ( and usually discards (not actively deletes, just discards) the source data) Yes users can take a copy but they cannot put that copy in place of the protected original because the FILE/DIRECTORY access on the directory structure don't allow them to make any change to the directory.
