Is it possible to "lock" a folder?

Does anyone know if there is there a way to configure a standard folder so that a password is always required to open it, regardless of privileges of the current user?

Is it possible to lock a folder with a passcode?

Hi,
This is more of a request then needing help on it, but is it possible to lock folders with a passcode? this would be very useful for me because I am very irresponsible and can't stop myself from playing games, and adding a passcode would make me think twice about it.

Only if the the specific app support that feature. Few do.

Possible to Lock Folder?

I'm wondering if it's possible to lock a folder in
Dreamweaver, so that no one can access its index on the internet
and see all the folders inside it.
Basically, I have a galleries folder
(www.website.com/galleries/) and within that folder are gallery
folders that I don't want public. I send each gallery to a select
group of people, and don't want just anyone accessing all of the
gallery folders.
Is there a way to lock the main gallery folder so that no one
can access it?
Thanks!

Ask your host to disable directory browsing on the site.

Is it possible to lock folders on macpro

Is it possible to lock a folder on a Macbook Pro? I have financial documents that I want to be hidden so kids can't access them and change or delete them. I am new to Mac. Thanks

Use an encrypted disk image or give them a separate Mac OS X user account.

How do I lock a folder or an App on my iPhone 5s? For example WhatsApp and other private Apps, please help

I Would like to know if it is possible to lock a folder or an app like WhatsApp on my iPhone 5s? Please help

No it isn't possible, you can only lock your entire phone by setting up a four digit passcode.

Is it possible to lock an invididual folder?

Despite the advances of Mac OSX it still does not seem possible to completely lock a Folder independently of other folders, or am I completely mistaken?
I have in the past done <command i> and tried to fiddle around with Permissions/Read Write etc but what I would ideally like to do is securely protect a single folder by password.
This means that I can walk away from my desk for a few minutes without logging out confident that no one can access the most sensitive folders.
Is this not a simple desirable basic feature and is it at all possible?
cheers in advance
M S

I think your best choice would be to create an encrypted folder and just keep your sensitive documents there.

A couple of caveats... do not click on "Save Password" or else the password will be supplied automatically. 256-bit encryption is now available.

Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!

Is it possible to lock out the Key Board commands in Keynote?

Is it possible to lock out your key board actions in Keynote? This happened all of a sudden. My keyboard has no effect on my trying to change text colors or enter characters. By using the mouse to add text the text box appears but I cannot change the character color.I can change it with the mouse and the new color is displayed but when I type nothing appears as the default color is white and the background is white. I did a copy and paste from a previous slide and I can enter the line to start editing but nothing appears. Nor can I delete anything with the Key board. This is only happening in Keynote. If I use the Key Board to send an email everything works fine. Can type and use the delete button so it seems that the Key Board is fine with other Apps, this is just happening in Keynote. It seems like the Key Board actions are not taking place, it is as if the Key Board is locked out of the Keynote functions.
Thanks in advance for any help
Rodger

Try resetting Keynote as follows:
remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
empty the trash
Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key, release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a repair routine
restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Error in BSP runtime repository: "Not possible to lock runtime repository"

Hi,
When I tried to change runtime repository of a component BT120H_CPL, in BSP component workbench, I am getting the following error: (The component is already enhanced one only).
Not possible to lock runtime repository
Message no. BSP_WD_TOOLS216
Diagnosis
You can only lock and edit runtime repositories that are saved statically in a BSP page. This means that the page may not contain dynamic elements, such as ABAP source code or page includes. Dynamic BSP pages must be loaded via HTTP and cannot be locked or edited.
It is also not possible to lock or edit runtime repositories that are only referenced as a URL or that are in the MIME repository.
System Response
Lock not possible. You remain in display mode.
Could you please help me out for the same.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
There is another way of commenting the code as below:

This wouldn't cause any scripting comment. Generally we use <% %> type of comments if we want to comment more than 1 line at a time. But for repository we have to use code as I mentioned above for each line seperately.
I hope that resolves your query
Thanks,
Rohit

Is it possible to lock and unlock a transaction?

Hi SDN,
Is it possible to lock and unlock a standard transaction( for eg VA02 ) through my program?( i am creating a customized version of standard transaction ) I want to lock the transaction for my user-id and then i will update the values in that transaction and finally i will unlock it.
I got the FM for locking at the database level.is there is any FM to lock and unlock the transaction?

Hi,
It may not be the best way, but maybe you could use the functionality behind transaction code SM01. Here you can lock/unlock the transaction code. If you look at the program, all it is really doing is updating table TSTC field CINFO. CINFO = 80 when unlocked, CINFO = A0 when locked. You could just update the field accordingly and then call this function module right after.
* For locking
CALL FUNCTION 'RSAU_WRITE_SM01_LOG'
EXPORTING
    TCODE = TSTC-TCODE
    LOCK = 'X'.
* For unlocking
CALL FUNCTION 'RSAU_WRITE_SM01_LOG'
EXPORTING
    TCODE = TSTC-TCODE
    UNLOCK = 'X'.

How to lock a folder using admin password??

hello,
i want to lock a folder with admin user name and password, and, i dont want to use Utilities->Disk Utility then Select File->New...->Blank Disk Image.
Can we lock a folder without creating an image???
plz help!!!
i have mountain lion, 27inch imac!!

You can't. The OS doesn't support password protecting files and folders. The encrypted disk image route is superior to what you want to do. Why don't you?

How To: Lock a folder to prevent it being deleted but still access it?

How can I lock a folder to prevent it from being moved or trashed but still have access to move/add folders within that folder?
The scenario is that we have a daily jobs folder and a final jobs folder. The daily jobs folder was accidently moved into an active job folder. I want these folders locked down so this cannot happen but when I use the lock feature nothing can be moved in or out of that folder.
Under OS9 the locked box specifically said "cannot move, rename or delete this item" yet you could add or delete items to that folder all day long.
If I try this with OSX I need to authenticate each bloody time! I just want to lock a folder down and have it accessable by anyone, anywhere, anytime without the need to type a password 80 times a day. HELP ME PLEEZE
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Read only access will prevent the addition or removal of items in the folder you set the permissions on; the folders below that one have different access settings, which can be less restrictive than those for the folder you set it on.
For example, if folder A contains B and C, and B allows Read & Write access but A allows Read Only access, items can be added and removed from B, but B itself cannot be moved out of A, and other items cannot be moved in to or out of A. If a folder your account has Read access to is inside a folder which your account doesn't, you can use the Finder's Go to Folder command in the Go menu to navigate to it if its path is known.

How to lock a folder with password ?

Please tell me how to lock a folder with password (to keep personal files)

Keep looking it can be done. I have a folder on my hard drive that requires a password everytime I try to open it. I found how to do this in an old "Mac OS - The missing manual" but don't remember off the top of my head how I did it. I remember you have to partition a portion of the hard drive, I think I did like 10 Gig of my 1 Teribite external drive and then you give it a name and make up a password. The password is NOT changeable and if you lose it you can't get back in that folder. It appears as a standard folder but needs a password to open it.
Email me direct if you can't find any info and I will try to look it up - [email protected]
