encrypt share folder on workgroup network

hotlove · 07-11-2006, 01:08 PM

Hello Folks,

Does anyone have any idea or technique or know how or software to encrypt with password a share folder in a workgroup environment ?

I want to share a folder and only allow a few people to be able to view
and edit the files in that folder over the network, but have no idea.
I am currently trying out some encryption software but could not find
any good one yet.

NOTE: This is a workgroup network, not client-server model network.
I can not implement client server network at this time.

If anyone have any idea, please help.

Thanks

I am attempting to use the built in XP Pro Encrypted File System (EPS) to do just that, but I am having difficulty getting it to work in a workgroup environment. See my post in this forum for my current state of trying to get this to work --> http://www.techsupportforum.com/showthread.php?t=111436

I have used a Microsoft's website to get to where I am currently at:

"How To Encrypt a File in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307877

"Encrypting File System in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"

Hope this helps.

Thanks m2orris,

I will look into it, but for now, I am currently using an encrypt software.
