Steve,
Not sure whether this will work for box but should do.......You have a couple of options either
Zip the file/folder with a password
You can password protect a zip file. Proceed as follows:
Create a directory for this experiment, and name it test.
Copy a few files and paste them into this directory so it isn’t empty.
Now open a terminal and enter:
zip -e -r /home/Desktop/newtest /home/Desktop/test
Enter password:
Verify password:
Now you have a file newtest.zip which is password protected. (you can/could delete test)
zip with -e option encrypts the contents of the zip archive using a password.
This encrypts with standard pkzip encryption which is considered weak.
However, the job of protecting the file is done, because even the root user needs
the password or should be a hacker to decrypt.
To unzip that same folder issue the command:
unzip <Directory_Name>.zip
You will then be prompted for the same password you gave for the encryption.
Once you successfully enter the password the file will be unzipped.
Or alternatively You can change the folder's permissions so no user other than root can
access the files inside:
Code:
chmod 600 /path/to/folder
Then set the owner as root (if not already).
Code:
chown root:root /path/to/folder
This will set your folder so that all user accounts on the local machine are
denied access to the folders contents, except for the root account.
Hope it helps, but i just see Ten in here so he may help further lol
