There is no way to prevent someone who has the ability to view a file from also copying it. You can, however, set up a "group" using the Appleshare Admin
application and assign authorized users to that group. Then set up the
appropriate folders with group read-only access, and no access to others. That
will at least keep the copying down to people who have been told not to.
