Hmm … for some reason, I would like to have a tool which allows me to configure my hard disk in a way such that :
- A portion of my HDD is reserved for some purpose, say movies
- Only an external web admin can add files to this reserved portion
- The user can only delete files, copy from/to the reserved portion not allowed
Basically, the idea is to create a reerved spacxe where the web admin can push certain confidential files knowing that the user can only go through them, or delete them if they are not of his use. The user should not be allowed to modify the files or redistribute them.
Well, one solution would be to actually have an online managed space with the permissions appropriately set. But in the event of file size going beyond GB’s, it’ll be more convenient to have a local unmodifiable/non-distributable copy of the file itself, instead of having to stream the whole thing every time.
But I suppose such a thing might not exist. Obviously, its illogical to assert that a computer administrator has limited modification permission to a piece of his own hard disk.
I’ll google around to see if any tool comes near to my requirements – non-redistributable local copy of files on the web server.
