Prevent/detect File copy from server

Asked by Frank Reid-Robertson

How do I detect or prevent from server the copy of files like if someone decides to steal a directory containing 1000 files using there windows machine?

Is there security build into Ubuntu server or is there free software available to install to assist.

Make the file unreadable to the user. You can swt the resource to be owned by root then make a group of allowed users that have read (or full) access. You can now control the access using the group. Make all other users have zero access to complete the change.
