Zip created through java.util.zip but problem in windows XP compress folder

Hi friends,
I am a software developer ,working on java/j2ee.currently i am working in a document management software related to logistics.Here i am facing a problem at the time of open the zip file through windows XP's in built software called "Folder compress".It's creared through java.util.zip.zipoutputstream.but at time of open through xp compress folder software ,it's showing error that "you can't open this file , this file are protected for your computer security" , but when i trying to open it through winzip or winrar, it's not giving any problem.My also specefing the code snippet below :-
ZipOutputStream zip = null;
 FileOutputStream fileWriter = null;
 try
 fileWriter = new FileOutputStream(destZipFile);
 zip = new ZipOutputStream(fileWriter);
 //required for XP compress
 zip.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
 zip.setLevel(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION); //use default level
 }catch (Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
 System.exit(0);
 addFolderToZip("", srcFolder, zip);
 try
 zip.flush();
 zip.close();
 zip=null;
 fileWriter.close();
 fileWriter = null;
 }catch (Exception ex)
 //ex.printStackTrace();
 logger.log("net.mlog.edoc.ejb.session.EdocRetrieveServiceSLBean.ProcessException","Exception in Zip folder processing");
 }I desperately looking for a help regarding this issue , if any body have any solution the please send at this forum.
Thanks,

Password protect (not encrypt) a folder

I need to password protect a folder (with at least 200GB of individual files) from being opened accidentally by someone else. The folder can be on my Mac or Time Capsule. I don't need encryption, just for the folder to ask a password when someone click on it. There is nothing private (SSN DOB, bank account etc) in the folder. Can this be done?
I have read many threads about creating an image disk etc. That is not what I need. I would love to do something any PC can do, right click on the folder, set password-to-open.

does this help?
Use Disk Utility to make an encrypted disk image (under the File -> New menu), and put the folder in there. If you make a sparse disk image, it will grow to accomodate your files, but note that it won't shrink if you delete or remove items.

Safari Won't open password protected Graphite Filesharing Public folder

Dear people,
Using Homepage I made my Public folder available to a small group of people, whom I gave my password. I chose Graphite Filesharing. Starting about half a year ago, I got mor and more complaints from people not being able to Login. The password is not refused, but the dialog keeps coming back. This only happens in Safari 3 and Safari 4. Firefox works fine.
If you need more info, then please leave a URL where I can post a formal bug report with all the details.
Kind regards,
Gerard Jonker

Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I tried deleting the bookmark and visiting the site by typing in the address. The same problem still persists. I just sit there staring at the loading symbol spin and spin - hypnotized with anticipation.
Any other ideas out there?

Creating password-protected or hidden folder

Dear all,
I wonder if someone can help me create a password-protected and/or hidden folder where I can put some sensitive files.
Thanks much,
R

Use an encrypted disk image or a third-party method. Placing the password in the keychain will automatically unlock the image when your Mac OS X account is active.

Can you password protect pages folders

When you create a folder in pages, can you password protect the folder, or it only that documents can have a password?

Only the file can be password protected from within Pages. If you don't want the file to open on your Mac without the password, then do not check, “Remember this password in my keychain,” in the password dialog. Record your document password where you can retrieve it — in case your forget, or if using keychain, in case it becomes damaged.
You can password protect (and encrypt) a folder that contains Pages documents, whether they are password protected or not.
In Finder, press shift+command+U to launch the Utilities Window.
Launch Disk Utility
File > New > Disk Image from Folder…
From the Select Folder to Image dialog, select the folder and click Image
From the New Image from Folder dialog
Image Format
Compressed - folder will be read-only with no ability to add documents later
Read/write - intuitive
Encryption: 256-bit AES Encryption
Save
In the new password dialog, set your password
You should strive for password complexity that shows strength as green
Record your password where you can retrieve it.
Again, the caveat about keychain as mentioned above
A new disk image will appear with the name you gave it, and a .dmg extension
Double-click for the password challenge
The disk image will mount on your desktop just like an installer. Double-click to open.If you chose Image format as read/write, you can drag additional Pages documents into this open folder
Right-click on the mounted image and choose Eject to close it
You can edit Pages documents in-place in the mounted folder, but you will get a warning about space in the image container. If you want to increase the disk image size, open it in Disk Utility. It willl appear below the line in the left panel. Select the .dmg there, and from the Images menu, choose Resize…, and adjust accordingly.

Can i password protect pages in iweb?

id like to be able to do it with a username and password that i can issue to select people..

Not in iWeb. You have to do it at the server side.
Depending on where you host, you can password protect a site (a folder or directory) or a page.
See your control panel where you host your site.
Or you can do it yourself with a .htaccess file :
http://www.google.com/search?q=password+protect+website+htaccess
Here's a basic login :
http://home.wyodor.net/protect
username/password are : root/root
Or if your server supports it, you can do it my way :

Password Protect Folder

I need to Password Protect one folder on my shared drive. This seems to be a common need but not such a simple answer. Surely MicroSoft Windows 7 has this capability. Where is it that the settings are changed to require a password to gain access to a folder?

You can still kinda accomplish what you want with other products. You can use truecrypt to mount an encrypted file like a drive letter. You can access it with My Computer or Windows Explorer, but it will really be an encrypted file on your computer.
If you forget the password you loose all the data though.
If you have XP Pro or Win 7 Pro you can also use EFS (Encrypted File System) to encrypt a folder. Other user accounts on that PC will not be able to your encrypted folders. They can still see the folder and some filenames but can't open word
docs etc. If you share a user account or logon with someone else this method is useless.
Another option is zipping the folder contents into a password protected/encrypted zipped file. You could use Winzip or the free program 7zip. You will be prompted for a password every time you access the compressed/zipped file/folder.

How To Encrypt A Folder With Password Protection In Mac

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

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.

Can't turn off password protected sharing - Windows 7

When I turn off password protected sharing in the network and sharing center's advanced settings, I save settings but when I go back in, it's turned on again. Turning it off doesn't stick.
This is what seess to be forcing a password and prevents me from setting up a backup to a network share drive.
Any ideas?

I noticed there is loads of stuff about problems with Networking Win 7 and XP/2000 PCs etc. I also couldnt get Password Protected sharing OFF to stick and had problems with Win 7/XP machines loosing sight of each other, when a Win 7 PC was added to a Network.
I saw some comments about the Guest Account - needs to be about with blank password but the password prot off may not like that
So, I enabled it, set a blank password on it but turned it Off!!.
And, as if by magic, Password Protected Sharing OFF engaged OK.
First, Using the console.
Windows Start - type   mmc   in search box, select mmc.exe which appears at top of Start Window.
On the console window do File - Add/remove Snap ins - select Local Users and groups - Add - Local computer.
Add other snap ins if you wish then OK. File Save to save your console setup with a 'name'.msc - use the 'name' in the Windows Start search box next time.
In the console window.
Expand Local Users and groups, select User folder, Select Guest Acct, Rt Click - Properties
Ticked - User Cannot Change Password and Password Never Expires
Unticked - User must change password, Account is disabled, Account is locked out
Apply then OK
Select Guest Account - Rt Click - Set Password - Proceed - ensure password fields are blank - OK
Windows Start - Control Panel - User Accounts - Add or Remove User Account
Select the Guest Account and Turn it Off
Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Advanced Sharing Settings
Expand Home or Work
Network Discovery ON
File and printer sharing ON
Public Folder Sharing ON
Media Streaming Off
Enable file sharing 40-56 encryption machines (if XP/2000 etc PCs in workgroup)
Password Protected Sharing OFF
Hope this helps; I could however be wrong about the logic but lets see what the experts say (please modify/delete as appropriate)!!
I must admit the 'connectivity' on my Network has improved; PCs not loosing each other.
Good Luck
Steve

Password protecting a single folder

I have a question about permissions for a single folder. Here is what I want to be able to do: I want to password protect access to a single folder. I want to be able to double click on it... input a password and be granted access to it. Also, when that finder window is closed, I want it to revert back to protected (so that if I need to open it again, I will need to input the password again).
To save you the time, I already know how to use Apple-i on a folder and use the sharings and permissions to give limited access to a folder. Unfortunately, that is time consuming and tedious to change back and forth every time I am done viewing a folder. I am interested in a "faster" method for keeping a folder and it's contents secure.
I appreciate any feedback you have on this!
Grant

The best "built-in" option is an encrypted disk image, which will do exactly what you want.
Open up Disk Utility. Go to the help menu and type "confidential" into the search box (without the quotes). Select "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image". Follow the instructions, and it will "just work".
Cheers,
Rodney

Making specific folders password protected in Public folder

If I have two subfolders in the Public folder of my iDisk - each containing images for a different person - can I specify a different password for each folder?
Thanks

You cannot password protect an ordinary folder. A "disk image" is a special kind of folder that you CAN password protect; on the desktop that 'folder' has the icon of a volume because it actually is a temporary volume. Use Disk Utility to create as many such disk images as you need, each with its own password, and each with a meaningful name ("JonsPics", "stuffforMary", whatever) so that you don't get confused. Put the appropriate files into each disk image and give the appropriate people the password they will need.
Where you then put those disk images (files with suffix .dmg or .sparseimage), on an iDisk or anywhere else, is immaterial.
Try an experiment. Use Disk Utility to create a disk image (with encryption) on, say, your desktop. Drag some files into the temporary volume that has appeared (the 'folder'). Now unmount the temporary volume via a Finder window's sidebar 'eject' symbol or by dragging the volume to the trash - (which is equivalent to closing the folder). You will have a xxx.dmg or a xxx.sparseimage file on your desktop: it contains your files, but hidden from prying eyes - double-click it - it will ask for a password... Those .dmg (or .sparseimage) files are what you will upload to your iDisk.
You can mount a volume from a .dmg or .sparseimage file as often as you like - just as you can open a folder as often as you like -- but with these kind of "folders", once you have closed/unmounted them, you will only be able to remount/reopen them with the correct password.
Don't lose a password - Disk Utility warns you that without it you will be unable to access your files... which is exactly what you have been asking how to do!
Do try it -- you will find it a lot simpler than trying to follow my explanation!

Password protected folder???

Is there any way to require an administrator password to open a folder?

You can set the permissions on the folder so that no account is able to read or write it and then change the owner to system in the Ownership & Permissions section of the Get Info window, or use one of these applications to password protect the folder, or create an encrypted disk image in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, and use that to store sensitive data. Using file permissions and invisibility to protect the folder can be easily defeated when encryption isn't used. Invisible files can be accessed by someone who knows the folder's path unless permissions are also used to restrict access to it, and permissions can be bypassed by anyone with administrator access to that computer or who can move the drive to a computer which they have administrator access on.
