Citrix Web Access

Hello, Newbie to citrix XP here.

I'm having a bit of difficulty in determining the best approach to accomplish two main tasks.

#1- I don’t want anyone to be able to use the full client to log into my citrix box and get a desktop. I am using N/fuse for web access and would like that to be the only avenue for access. What is the best way to do this?

#2- While logged in through the web server and accessing apps which have been assigned to each user, is it feasible to limit what folders and files they see while going to the save as or save functions under the program?
Keep in mind the application must have read write access to the folder in questions. The point would be to eliminate the possibility of someone accidentally overwriting a file in the program folder while allowing the program access.

Thanks Andy for some input on this second task, as I understand it, group policies through the domain controller might handle this, or is there anything within the Citrix User settings in management console I would have to do as well.

Thanks,
TJ

As for item #1, you'll need to publish just the applications that you'll want to be available. If you publish the server without explicitly pointing to a program on it, then they can get the server's desktop.

Re item #2, set NTFS permissions so that either Everyone or a specific group can only read from the directory where the program is, and can read and write from the directory where the data is.

Thanks for the tip, I was able to give access for just the published apps already, I'm struggling with NTFS permissions, as the Apps we have are proprietary and need access to multiple databases ect, But I expect to get that resolved in a matter of time as well.

Thanks again.
