    By Denying Create Folder/Append Data you are effectivly Denying Write Permission.

    If you want them to be able to write but not create folders you should assign them the Create Files/Write Data Special permission Along with the Normal Read permission.

    As a rule of thumb you should avoid Denying ANY permissions unless you have to, always causes more trouble except in special cirmcumstances.

    Hope this helps

    i did as same u told me i cant set it up
    when i apply special permission i lose standard permission
    share permission - read
    security - read ,write,list folder content,read execute.
    special permission - disable create folder/append data(read,write check box in standard permission remove list folder content mark is checked)
    user on other computer can access file (read or write)
