Best way is to have an ftp\n\nlike cuteftp and others...and yes it is secured...as long as you dont give away your username and password... :)

If they are logged on to your account, they have your settings, so they have access to your files.  That being said, yes, it can be done, but it would take third party software, like http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/?id=gi\n\nPlease note, this is not an endorsement as I have never used this program, nor is it the only one available.

Yes It is possible - but you have to use a software like :\n\n-Magic Folder \n-Folder Guard\n\nOtherwise you can also zip the folder with a password.Using "Winzip" software..\nSteps :\n-Install winzip software \n-right click on the folder that you want to lock \n-selet the option (form right click menu) "add to archinve"\n-check archive format to "zip"  in general tab\n-now click on to the advanced tab\n-now click on the "set password" button\n-set your password and click on "ok" button\n\nPS : do not forget to delete the original folder

The Windows operating system does not allow you to password-protect individual files. So, you have a couple of choices:\n\n- Password-protect your Windows user account, and make sure that you're the only administrator on the computer. You can do this through the "Users" item in your Windows Control Panel.\n\n- Get some software that lets you password-protect individual files. Examples:\n* Microsoft Office lets you password-protect files, but it isn't very secure. Password recovery software is readily available.\n* WinZip: http://www.winzip.com\n* PGP: http://www.pgp.com\n* A Google search for "password protect files" will turn up lots of software that can do this.\n\n- Store your files somewhere else besides your computer:\n* on a secure USB drive (for example, Lexar JumpDrive Secure, available on Amazon)\n* on an internet-accessible file server (for example, http://briefcase.yahoo.com)

If you are talking about Microsoft Office files, you can set the password at:\nTools > Options > Security > Password to open\n\nIf you want to Secure contents of a whole folder, Right Click, go to Properties > Under General tabs attribute section select Advanced and click "Encrypt content to secure data". This uses your current windows credentials to encrypt and your data would be safe from others.

well for me I just right click and under properties, i go to add passowrd. or i highlight th folder and rigth click scroll down to password protect. then i fill in my password. don't lose it, cause you won't be able to access it again if you do.\non my system if i lose the password. you won't be able to delete the folder either since it will be protected.\nnote- there is a glitch... the passworded folders are still accessible by browser if they know a file inside, by typing the "drive" name, "Folder", "subfolder", then "FILE" name. I do it easy by going to the browser and clciking then drive letter, opening the folders down to the passworded folder, then I search that folder with *.* and then pull the files from the folder without ever having to open the folder.\n\noh i forgot to add, i needed to also run Upnp so that the drive was accessible. once you can see your drive. IFF you have admin rights, you can unprotect the pin drive properies. But seeing as that you said you have a folder there, i take it your system sees the drive.

brute-forcer is  possible,\n\nbut it may take many years,\n\nbut yahoo did implement a security features that shut down the PC after a couple of invalid tries.\n\nSO you may want to go for keylogger.

I assume you use Windows XP.\n\n1. Right click folder(s) that want to be secured.\n2. Click "Properties".\n3. In General tab, click "Anvanced".\n4. Give a checkmark at "Encrypt contents to secure data".\n5. Click "OK".\n\nThis is my humble opinion. There are another several ways to protect folder(s). You can also use software(s) made by 3rd parties. If these suggestions is good, would you please rate it? Thank you.\n\nGreetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.
