Would anyone know whre I could download a program that would encrypt or lock a floppy disk? I have one for files, but have to unlock each file individualy and would like to be able to just lock or encrypt the whole disk at once.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

There are two possible solutions.
PGP Freeware available at www.pgpi.org.
This will enable you to encrypt at the directory level. As it uses public/private key encryption you will need to have the appropriate private key at the location where you intend to decrypt the disk.

The other option is a program called bcrypt. This works on a passphrase only, but still provides 128 bit encryption. It will not do the directory level encryption but you can drag files onto it in windows explorer

I would recommend PGP

Cheers
Peter
