Re: Blocking Windows Explorer from IFS shares

There's security on the directory in the IFS.
And, with 7.4 and above, there's security on the share. You can assign an
authorization list to the share.
You definitely need to set up the access on the directory first. Not to
get the share authorization to work but just to prevent access from outside
of the share too.

As anyone blocked a specific folder in the IFS from the windows explorer?

We have a folder with sensitive information that we want to block other
users from accessing. We have given access to 2 users, turned off
public access, told the share to be hidden, but the windows explorer can
still access the share.
