How to configure smb.conf for read and copy access only

Hi there,

I want to give access with samba to a folder but with read and copy rights but no write. I don't want somebody to be able to delete the files.

I found the read only parameter but this doesn't allow the users to copy the files. Is there an option for this?

The configuration looks like
Code:
[autoreports]
        path = /home/autoreports
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes

Thanks in advance for your help!
