Shared Folder

Hi, I'm sharing a folder over the network that contain video files. How do I set the permission so that who ever access this folder can only Play the videos' but not Copy or delete the video's?

What's the difference between playing ("read data") and copying ("read data")?

You can prevent deletion ("write") by removing write privileges.

Ok, it worked but users are still able to "Copy" video's to local PC, how can I prevent this?

Configure the local PC's to forbid it. How is FreeNAS supposed to prohibit reads in one case but not another? It has no way to know.
