Password protecting folders w/o encryption

Hey everyone. I was wondering if its possible to password protect folders without haveing to encrypt them. I have some (Ahem) "Movie files" that I want to block acsess to. Right now, all I do is just make the folder hidden and then make the folder I keep it in hide hidden folders. It works but its annoying. Many thanks for any help.

You'll need a 3rd party program in Windows since its lacks this feature. What to use is up to you..do a search on google.

/r torrent of your movie files

RAR supports 128 bit AES encryption which nobody even bothers to try to break provided your passowrd is not your name or an English or Spanish word

That solution fails for not being integrated into the shell, and having to decrypt all the file in one go upon opening, rather than the section currently been read/written to.

TrueCrypt is an excellent program for creating encrypted files, which are then mounted as harddrives and act accordingly. This is all windows-native, with GUI, so you'll have no problem using it. It is open source and free.

But for this program, it is important to read the manual (which is included) and FOR GOD SAKES BACKUP YOUR HEADERS.

There is no solution for doing what you ask without encrypting.

There is. chmod -R 700 /home/pornNow no one can read it without being logged in to either your account or the root account. And of course no one but you has the password to either of those - right?

It may be used from the CLI or Windows Explorer (if you really use that, duh). What's good about it is it supports many platforms, doesn't require any installation, has a zero seconds setup time, has a free uncompressor, it's made of simple files you can move and otherwise operate regularly, and it's simple.

Of course, this is not filesystem compression, nor it intends to.

TrueCrypt sounds good too. I hope it has a CLI tool.

Still, if you have a 700mb movie file encrypted in a .rar, you're going to have to wait for it to decrypt it to a temporary folder and then make sure you don't accidently close winrar while the player is running, else it won't automatically delete the decrypted file.

delete the decrypted file
it should be securely deleted (overwriting first, etc)

lol performance
