      Yes, but that means that when people are done, they have to rezip the folder and re-set the password on the zip. That won't work.

        Implement a quick FTP server and have the folder location redirect to ftp:\folderlocation.location.com (internal address) This would cause a ton of other issues but they would be prompted for a username and password.

              So in other words your boss is looking to create more problems for you AND your users all in the name of faux security?

              haha Not sure A.J..
              Not easy šŸ˜ž

              I can see password protecting individual files, if they're accounting files or whatever, but adding a second password just to do so in the name of "security" is idiotic!

              Haha A.J i already told them about it.

                  No Sir, redirection is not allowed. They need to upload the files manually -Manual connecting to FTP server.

                    was laughing this morning with your reaction on my post.
                    I told them that, we will only make things complicated with their request.

                                Well, you could create them new but super secret user names and passwords and only give them access via those user accounts.

                                ...aaaaaand for extra fun, games and work...
                                make them all RDP to a terminal server to do their work... because secrets.

                                    that's what I would say to do. Password protecting a "file" or folder requires a third party utility. Zipping is as easy as anything else.

                                      Someone is confused as to the ISO standard, in this case.

                                          Why not start with, what problem are we truly trying to solve? Then find a solution to that problem.

                                          Sounds like management does not even know the problem they have or want to solve, either that or simply don't understand how NTFS or share/CIFS permissions work.

                                            I think that that is a safe assumption.
