Make files in a folder require password to view them

[jasfa131]

How (in Leopard) do I make it so that in order to open any of the files in a folder, I require a password?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about in a folder, but you can open up disk utility and go to file>new>blank disk image. From there you can specify how large you want the disk image to be, then select which encryption you want on it and then select a password. You can mount this image and it will act like a folder and you can fill it up to the amount you specified. I hope this helps.

That's the idea, but could I do this with a folder?

Thanks

Yes - try it out...

Thats what users are for. But what I do is change the permissions to some random thing and you need a password to change the permissions back to your user to view whats in the folder.
