restrict file folder access

[portlandgreen]

we have 3 macs running OS10.4 that network to one mac which houses multiple data folders in the documents folder. We want to restrict access from each of the macs to specific folders in the documents folder. We have explored, accounts and folder permissions to date but not found a soloution.

How did you share the Mac's "Documents" folder? When a Mac shares it only shares the User's "Public" folder. To share other files on a Mac there is a third party 'donationware' application to bring OS 9 style sharing of any folder on the client Mac called SharePoints.

Also just doing a Get Info on any folder/file you as an Administrator (the that Mac)and set that folder/file permission to a very detailed level.

SharePoints is the way to go.

The network you're on can set permissions for folders that exist on it. Contact your IT Director to set that up for you. These restrictions need to be set server-side.
