User with permissions can't access file in shared folder

I have a user in my network, he has permission to read, write and modify on a shared folder but when he tried to open file in the shared folder he can't... The operating system is Windows Server 2003.

To have access to a file/folder through a share, the user must have the appropriate share permissions but also the appropriate NTFS permissions (the most restrictive permissions apply). These concepts are explained in thisMicrosoft Technet article.

The point is your user probably does not have the required NTFS permissions on the folder he needs to access.
