How do I Password-Protect a folder

I have a folder in my Documents area that I would like to password protect. Can someone give a little guidance how I can encrypt it so no-one but I can access it?

Click here and follow the instructions followed by placing the folders and files on the image; if the password is in the keychain, it will be supplied whenever you're logged in.

How Can I Password Protect a Shared Folder

Hello. I have a shared folder on our server (Windows Server 03) that I would like to password protect. Is there a way to do that? If I cannot password protect the whole folder, is there a way to password protect a folder inside of that shared folder?
Thanks for your help.

I believe what you want to do is use your active directory users and computers groups to set permissions on this shared folder. Those who are not in a group that has access to this share will get a "access denied" error. The users that do have permissions will either have access to it if they are a part of the domain or will need to enter username/password to gain access.
You can go to the shared folder, right click on it, select properties, use the SHARED and SECURITY tabs to set the local and shared permissions on the folder. If you have more folders inside this one, you can also set permissions on those.
Some things to look up would be:
active directory users and groups
setting windows shared permissions
Take a look at this for starters

There may be 3rd party prodcuts that allows you to set a password on that one folder, but this is how you should do it!
Hope it helps

Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?

Hi
I use a MacBook Pro 17" with MacOSX(10.4.7) Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?
Thanks

Adnan,
One way to do this is to use Disk Utility to make a password protected disk image of the folder(s) that you need to secure. This is probably the easiest way to do it.
Go to Disk Utility and choose "New Image" and select encryption.

How do you password protect web gallery

Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Progmatically save to password protected network folder

I am looking to save a file to a password protected network folder. I tried using the standard Write Text.vi to see if a dialog would pop up, but it did not. There is not an ftp server running on the networked computer, so I dont think that will work.
The IT department directions to the folder say: Go to Start> Run and enter url \\computername\folder\subfolder\... and a dialog will appear to enter username and password.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Kenny

Well this is what we do. Run--->(doubleslash(\\) computername slash(/) d$)
Eg: \\pc48\d$ .When you get a popup(U should) type the username and password of the that computer having admin rights.
That simply reiterates what the IT department originally told the poster to do, except that you're using the administrative share.

To do this you will need to delve into the Windows API. You can also use .NET to perform impersonation. Most of the examples that are on the internet are based on .NET 1.1 and it's probably easier to simply create yourself a custom class that you can call using a single method rather than trying to put all the .NET code into LabVIEW. An example of using impersonation (though there are lots of them) can be found here.

Is there a way to just password protect a folder instead of Home?

No.
You would need to create a password protected (encrypted) diskimage using Disk Utility. For details use the search page for other discussions.

Password Protect a Folder

Hello,
is there a way to password protect a folder?
THX

Almost. You can open "Disk Utility", then File > New > Disk Image From Folder. Choose the Folder you want to "password protect", then click Image. In the next dialog box, choose one of the two types of encryption (not none!). Also choose a name for the disk image, and click "Save". You will be prompted for a password for the disk image. Now you have made a copy of the Folder you wanted to password protect, and it will have a dmg extension. To eliminate the original Folder, drag it to the Trash and then "Secure Erase" the Trash. To use the new password-protected disk image, double click it and type in your password. In fact, you probably won't need to remember the password for the disk image itself, because it will be stored in your keychain. Rather you will need to type in your usual login password so that disk utility can retrieve the image's password from your keychain.
Two comments:
1. You may not want to secure erase the original folder until you are sure the disk image works!
2. I don't have a lot of experience with this, so I can't promise the disk image will be writable, and not read-only.

How can i password protect my ipad2 email

The pass code is no alternative, because it's disturbing the easy handling of the iPad.
All unsatisfied users should organize protests against Apple. Every missing Dollar makes the company more thinking about their customers. I'm sure that I would change the platform, if there is someone taking care about the wishes of their customers.

Hi there,
i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document

On the File menu, click Save As.
On the Tools menu, click General Options.
Do either or both of the following:
If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
NOTE   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security, it's best to assign both passwords. An encrypted password to access the workbook, and one to provide specific users with permission to modify its content. IMPORTANT   Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
If you want to use a different encryption type, click Advanced, click the type you want in the Choose an encryption type list, and then click OK.
If needed, specify the number of characters you want in the Choose a key length box.
NOTE   Document property encryption is enabled by default for most encryption types and providers. It prevents unauthorized users from viewing summary and custom file properties (such as the author or any custom file information) in theProperties dialog box. When users right-click the password-protected file, and then click Properties, information won't be available on the Summary tab and Customtab. Authorized users, however, can open the file and view all file properties (Filemenu, Properties command). To disable document property encryption, clear theEncrypt document properties check box.
Click OK.
When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them.
Click Save.
If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
NOTE   You can also secure a workbook with a password on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).

How to create password protected folder (with unlimited storage) on Mac?

I want to create password protected folder on my mac. I tried the method where you create a dmg file and mount it whenever you want to use the folder and unmount it when you don't. However, this method only lets me store, for example, 2 gb data. I cannot store beyong that level as an error message pops up saying... "the following files cannot be copied because there is not enough storage space in the dmg file"
How can I create a passpord protected folder which can store as much available space that is on my mac?
Is there an application that does that? Suggest me some names if someone already is using something like that.
Thanks much!

You need to choose the size of the image when you create it. If you are getting that message, you only set the image to hold 2GB of data.
If you choose a Sparse Disk Image or a Sparse Bundle Disk Image, you can set it to any size, however, it will only be able to store up to the space available on your Hard Disk. Physically, it will only be the size of the stuff you saved into it, but It doesn't shrink automatically when you remove things.
A Sparse Bundle differs from a Sparse Image in that it writes the contents to small files so that when Time Machine sees changes, it only backs up the small file change, not the 100 GB (or whatever) of the total image size.
Notice that having created a 10 TB disk image (as shown above), there is only 80 GB available on the mounted image as that is all the space I have available on the 500 GB drive.
