Re: Password Protecting/Hiding Files & Folders on Windows 2003 server???



I guess my problem lies in the fact that I need a solution that is easy
to use or the people that I need the most support from (managers &
directors) wont use it and wont support it...

If they are required to encrypt every file before transferring to the
file server using a cumbersome program then they will just not do it...


It needs to be as simple as:

1. Save the file on server
2. Right click to activate encryption

And the files need to be re-accessible by a simple double click and
then a password prompt.

Microsoft EFS is the best solution I have seen but it is not activated
on AD yet and the administrator was a little hesitant to allow user
acces to this facility...

I might have a look into PGP...

Some of the programs I tried to use include:

- Folder Security Guard
- Hide Folders
- Folder Password
- SecuKEEPER
- Universal Shield

All had their advantages but none worked over a network on a file
server...

Thanks for the feedback
