| I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 workstation that I use for email and accounting. I also have
| a laptop that I synchronize to the workstation when I travel and then synchronize the
| workstation to the laptop when I get back. I would like to encrypt the data on the laptop
| but not on the workstation.
|
| I use XCopy to copy data between the workstation and the laptop. (Windows networking --
| no domain controller) I use the /G option (Allows the copying of encrypted files to
| destination that does not support encryption.) when copying to the workstation from the
| laptop. This works fine for files. But if a directory on the laptop are encrypted XCopy
| fails saying it cannot create the directory. So I have had to walk the directory tree and
| unencrypt each directory while not unencrypting the files under it. While this allows
| XCopy to copy undated files to the workstation it means I have to remember to encrypt any
| new files on the workstation as they don't get the encrypted attribute from the parent
| directory.
|
| Is there anyway around this? Anyway I can keep the entire tree encrypted on the laptop
| and not on the workstation and still copy updated files to the workstation?

How about storing the data in strong password protected ZIP files ?
WinZip v9.0 Sr1 supports 256 bit AES encryption.
