Password protecting a single MS Word file in Leopard.
Hi, I have a quick question. Is there a way to password protect or encrypt a single MS Word file in Leopard? I want to encrypt a few sensitive Word doc's but not everything. Thanks- Chris
If you can't find a more direct way, there's always the option to create an encrypted disk image (using Disk Utility or equivalent) and store the sensitive files on there.

Password protect the Mac Mail app is useless,and would not prevent access to your mailboxes.Your email is stored in files under your home folder,so you must password your mail folder.

Password protect a single directory
How do I password protect a single directory in finder. I want it to ask for a password before it can even show the contents.
Well, I use Windoze too, but have been a Loyal Mac user for 4 years, just dropping a bundle on a new 17MBP. I actually didn't realize you could password protect a single directory on Windows. When I needed that before, I dumped files into a password protected ZIP file, and had a program on my Windows box that would show Ziped files as directories and subdirectories.
Are you thinking I am a Windows user because I said "Directory" instead of "Folder"? I can't seem to switch my terminology since I started with DOS ages ago.
I thought that since OSX had an underlying UNIX file system that a single password protected folder would be possible. I don't know much about unix, but have used Linux and shell for some websites and that allows individual folders to be password protected.
Thanks,

Password protecting and encrypting received pdf file
Hello there,
how can I password protect (and encrypt) a pdf file that I received from someone else? For example, I may get a copy of my tax return from my accountant that I don't want anyone else to see on my computer or when I back up contents of my computer online.
I have only Adobe Reader 8 installed on my computer. So I am not writing these pdf files myself - I realize that then I would have full control over the security settings.
Microsoft Word and Excel files I can password protect. How can I do this for "received pdf files"?
Thank you for your help.You need Acrobat, not Reader.
Be aware that even then, PDF security is easy to bypass.
I use a Mac for the most part but isn't there any features in Windows that will allow you to protect folders? -

Password protect a single page on a site
Hi,
Please culd someone advise me on the best and simplist way of password protecting a single page on a site? I've done some research and there seems to be a fair bit of conflicting information. I just need anyone that clicks on a certain link to be prompted for a password and if possible be able to change the password on a monthly basis (i'd prefer it if my client could do this as well).
Many thanks
Regards
RobBelow is a simple username/password page if you only have a handful of clients where a database is over-kill.
It uses php so your hosting provider will need to be able to handle php. This will work with any of the following combination of the username and passsword.
Pink, Elephant
Blue, Sky
Fat, Pig
You can change the usernames and passwords in the php code below to suit yourself and you can add addtional usernames and passwords to the php. You can change the url they will be sent to once they enter the correct combination of username and password.

Is there a way to password protect a single file in numbers?
Is there a way to passwork protect a single file in Numbers?
Not directly no - there is this work-around which should still work on iOS 6, or you could see if any of the third-party email apps in the app store support a password, or just access your account via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for your account's login page)

How to Password Protect a Directory so all Files are Protected?
Hello CFers and Happy Holidays,
I am moving a web site over from a Linux server over to a
Windows 2000 server. The site was currently password protected via
the oh so familiar .htaccess method on the Linux server. Now that
the site is on IIS on Windows, the .htaccess files don't work.
I have created a MSSQL database with a users table that
contains all of the username and passwords that are allowed to
access the site.
Normally I would just log users in by querying the database,
setting a session variable, and then using application.cfm to check
to make sure the users is logged in. However, in this particualr
site, most of the files are made up of .htm files which do not get
processed by the ColdFusion application.cfm tag.
Several posts indicated that I would need to disable
anonymous access within IIS and then create the individual user
accounts within Administrative Tools > Computer Management >
Users and Groups. However, in this case, I don't want to create
thousands of new users within windows.
Is there a way for me to password protect all files within a
directory while still using the accounts set up in my MSSQL
database for authentication?
Thanks,
David Levin> Several posts indicated that I would need to disable

How many users did you have in your .htaccess config? That's
how many
you'd need to set up in IIS. With IIS & file system
permissions you're
effecting the same thing you would with Apache's .htaccess
authorisation.
Except using GUI tools rather than text files; it's the same
principle,
though.
Or... you could just install Apache and use that instead,
sticking with the
approach you're used to.

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!
GrantThe 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,

Password-protecting a hyperlink to a file?
Is it possible to make a hyperlink to a file password-protected in iWeb 3.0.3? For example, I'd like to make a portfolio on my website downloadable only to select clients. Thanks.
Since iWeb can’t password-protect individual pages, consider posting your portfolio on posterous.com and text or image hyperlink to it. There's also a way to link to an external site (such as Posterous) directly from iWeb's navigation bar.
You can set a password on your Posterous site so only the readers you want can see it. They don't need to create an account to see your site, just enter the password you give them. Simple. More information about private sites can be found HERE. -
IOS8 fails to stream password protected website mp3 and mp4 files
EDucational content in a password protected website folder (mp3 and mp4 lecture presentations) fail to stream from a simple directory list website with iOS 8 yet continue to work fine on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7. Apple says "expected behavior" with all browsers on iOS 8. Before i direct new students to other platforms so they can access course material, any fixes?
i drafted the solution here,

Password-Protected Sparsebundle won't mount in Snow Leopard...?
Hi guys - I've searched for a few hours now and haven't found anyone with my exact issue...
It's pretty simple: I created a password-protected sparsebundle file on my idisk so I can access important documents at work and at home. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I get the following error message when double-clicking the sparsebundle: The following disk images couldn't be opened: name.sparsebundle / Reason: not recognized.
I stored this sparsebundle on my idisk for over 2 years without issue and was able to access it from anywhere in the world. It first wouldn't open when I installed Snow Leopard, but I've also recently tried to open it on a machine running 10.5 and I got a similar error message.
Can anyone offer some advice? I've tried running disk utility to no avail, and most of the sparsebundle threads on here seem to be related to Time Machine.
Thanks!Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try repairing disk permissions and see if that helps...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Adding password protection to a modified PDF file in iOS Reader 10.3
Is there a way to add a password to a PDF file that was modified from an unprotected PDF original, using the free iOS version of Reader, without having to buy a third-party app?
On that note, can you protect a subfolder within the Documents folder without leaving the app?No.
