Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me solve this problem. I have a several computers on a small network. Of that network, there is one computer acts as a file server. There is a shared folder in C:\ drive that is shared with all computers on the network. They all run on windows XP Pro.
My question is this. is it possible to password protect the sharedfolder on the fileserver? what i really want is once everyone logging to their computer that's attached on the network, they start trying to gain access to the folder on the fileserver. But before they gain access, they have to supply a password. Now, i'm talking about across the network, not on the local computer. I mean i found password protected folders that actually works on the local machine only.
Your help is highly appreciated and look forward to hearing from you.

Hey everyone the program you're looking for to do this task is Folder Guard from WinAbility... like you I've had to password protect folders on a file server and out of all the products that said that they would do the job FolderGuard was the only one I found user friendly and that supported multi-versions of windows.
