Setting Up a Drop Box
A drop box is a shared folder with custom permissions. If you use only ACLs, you can
set permissions so that specic users can only copy les to the folder but can’t see its
contents. If you use only POSIX permissions, you can set them to permit anyone to
copy les to the drop box but give only the owner of the drop box full access.
To create a drop box:
1 Create the folder that will act as a drop box in an AFP share point.
2 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
3 Click File Sharing.
4 Click Share Points.
5 Click Browse and select the folder in the AFP share point that you want to use as
a drop box.
6 Click Permissions below the list.
7 Set write only permissions using POSIX permissions or a combination of POSIX
permissions and ACEs.
To create a drop box using standard permissions, set Write Only permissions for
Owner, Group, and Others. For more information, see “Setting Standard Permissions”
on page 38.
Note: For greater security, assign None to Others.
To create a drop box using ACL permissions, add two types of ACEs:
If you want users to only copy items to a drop box but not see its contents, add Â
ACEs that deny them Administration and Read permissions and give only Traverse
Folder, Create File (Write Data), and Create Folder (Append Data) permissions.
