Prevent copying files
Is there a (VMS-native) way to be able to do so?

Re: Prevent copying files
To prevent modifications should be possible with file protection.

Re: Prevent copying files
You can prevent access to files with protected subsystems.
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/aa-q2hlg-te/aa-q2hlg-te.HTMl
As I read it, you can prevent COPY, FTP and others to read the file while allowing TYPE and EDIT. However, this is only usable if you restrict all but real file viewers (not able to do save as).
May be better to prevent all access except when done with a real file viewer (you can write yourself).
Never used it, but hey, I work in a bank.

Re: Prevent copying files
Why do you want to prevent the copy - Security, as always, is a people problem.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: Prevent copying files
Protected subsystems would work with regards to the access from the OoenVMS side.
Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to control the other side of the connection. Screen scraping of data from the client side is virtually unknowable. This has figured in some discussions about data privacy following incidents such as the one involving the US Veterans Administration.
Security measures must always be considered with the knowledge that the precautions and preventitive measures have limitations, and an awareness of what those limitations are.

Re: Prevent copying files
You might be able to do this with a protected subsystem controlling access to the source data, but only presenting it to clients transformed into some kind of graphical format, presented via a web server as HTML with caching and right click disabled. You may also need to to introduce some noise to inhibit screen capture and OCR. However, it would NOT necessarily inhibit printing the graphical result.
Of course, no matter what you do, you can't prevent someone from simply transcribing, or even photographing the data off the screen.
