Read and View Only Permission

I am struggling to find the difference between Read and View Only permissions in Marketing portal. Uses with both these permissions can open the file. I checked it. I was under the assumption that “View Only” permission will just make the user to see the file name and metadata values in the screen and he/she cannot open the file.

I want User A to be able to open the file and User B to just view the file name in the list of documents under a folder. How to achieve this?

can any one help me in acheving the same?

to achieve what you describe as "view only" you will have to implement custom code. Security trimming in MOSS prevents your description of a "view only" scenario. (Security trimming = if a user does not have permission to open a document, subsite, list, or whatever else they will not see that the item exists on the portal)
