Windows equivalent to Netware _RW_C_F_ permission (add but not modify)

Asked by chastainskillman in Novell Netware Network Software, Microsoft Operating Systems, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Netware, file rights, conversion, permission, Windows migration, modify


I'm trying to figure out how to set up a share that has a HUGE amount of archived data in it.
It consists of 25,000 base directories, a directory structure of 15 or so directories under these, and then a total of close to a Million files spread all over the place.

As an archive, I  allow users to read existing files but not modify or delete them.  They can also create additional files.
(Netware folder rights: Read, Write, Create, Filescan checked but NOT Execute or Modify)
How on earth can I achieve this in Windows???

As soon as I assign rights to write, an existing file can be modified, you can stop it being deleted, but that's hardly a consolation if the file is no longer "valid".

What hoops or magic am I missing?

This seems to basic to not be possible!
