[comp.sys.mac.misc] Looking for ways to password protect folders

mo@well.sf.ca.us (Maurice Weitman) (02/16/91)

Howdy MacNetters,

I'd like recommendations for (or even names of) applications which
would enable me to selectively password-protect folders.  I've
tried A.M.E. from Cassady and Greene, but found it too fascistic
(alright -- too consciencious).  It doesn't have to be quite so
bullet-proof, and PD or SW would be fine.  Thanks in the
preverbial advance.

I agree. Try FileGuard from ASD Software. It implements AppleShare style 
priviledges for folders. It's very bulletproof and ez to use.

I guess I wouldn't trust any PD program that would offer this kind of 
capability...
