Passwording a folder

[failurbydesign]

Im going to share a folder on my network, but i want to password it, so only "special people" like me can get whatever i put in that folder, from another computer. I know how to share a folder, but how do i password a folder?

XP Professional or Home?
NTFS or FAT partition?

An Excellent workaround (rather than having to buy software)

XP Pro and 2000 have built in folder protection. Right click, properties, security tab.

Its home.......Crap... :dead: I dont mind a program if i can get one..

Use the workaround. It's a brilliant idea, I didn't see it until I googled it up for you today.

Yes, you have to zip your folder or files to make it work, a nice hassel if you asked me

Not much you can do with it since you have home. If you had pro or linux you can make the folder ax protected though. A way you might be able to work around it is to use a program like folderlock or something.
