How to transfer files securely?

Question

System administration

Good afternoon, there is a park of Windows machines, there is a directory from which you need to download files in jpeg format, how to safely pick them up so that, in addition to this directory, a user who logs into the system over the network to collect files cannot go. How is there a root in Linux, is there a similar one in Windows, through which software is it implemented?

Answer 1

standard situation.
1. All users must connect to the file server with their own account with their own password.
2.Create a user group on the file server to access the jpegs directory. In this group, include all users who need access to the directory. 3. Assign rights for the created group to the directory with jpegs, remove other assignments on the directory, perhaps leave more administrators (of your choice), also remove inheritance rights from the directory.
4.Everything!
