Does anyone know of an application that I can use to secure access to a folder without actually encrypting the contents of the folder?

I want to ensure that when I am travelling with my laptop that if it were stolen I would not risk losing any sensitive client data that I may be working on at that time. At the same time I do not want to encrypt the contents of the folder as this would end up being a 'pain in the bum' everytime I needed to send any of the contents to a third party.... See more

On an ftp-site? May 29, 2006

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to make absolutely certain that you can access this folder at any time from any computer, I would save the folder on an ftp-site!

And obviously, you need to protect the site with a password and make sure you have not checked the option in Windows saying something like 'Would you like Windows to remember your password?'.

Just an idea.
