Default Hide files from casual users?

Thanks for your help. That might be a very usefull matrix if it were
accompanied by some explanatory text. I am guessing that what it
tells
me is that any permissions that allow the user to read or execute a
file also allow the user to list the contents of the folder in
Windows
Explorer which means that the user can easily copy the files.

If you cannot understand the description of the folder/file
permissions then you really should not be administering anyone else's
host. Or, if it your host that is sharing files and you don't want
others to use those files, and because you cannot figure out the
permissions, just turn off file and printer sharing on your host.
Have the other users use sneakernet to get your files or you can
upload them to an FTP server or to online web page space.
