Hello! I am storing some small files on a free website that allows me to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Everything is fine there. I gave the password to some of my relatives, so they can copy those files from my site using FTP through Interenet Explorer.

But once it happened so that one of my relatives instead of copying the file just accidently moved it from my site to his computer, so now the file was only on his computer. Well, I have already told him about it and he has already returned the file to me, but is there anyway for me to prevent this from happening in the future? I only want people to copy the files, but not move them away. Is there such a way in FTP?

You may ask why using FTP then at all? Why not just let all the users enter my website through a usual way on the internet - not through FTP? Well, because in FTP they can highlighten all the files and copy all of them on their local computer all at once - not one by one - it is much easier.

You could change permissions (with chmod/in your FTP-client).

I am using MS Internet Explorer as FTP-client there. So, can I change permissions in MS Internet Explorer? If yes, please give me some clue on how I could do it there. Thank you

No, but there are other ways: How do I set "access permissions" for a file or folder on my web server?
