Does that user also have write permission on the disk? With win its two
places where permissions are checked, at network level when accessing
the share (for all the share) and then at file/directory level for each
(sub-)directory and file involved. Its probably easier to restore this
by downloading a zip-file and have the user unpack that himself.
