    Protecting files on a USB stick?

    I second this.. creates a file on the USB stick that can only be accessed when mounted... Then requires a password to access it.. Awesome free utility!

    Protecting files on a USB stick?

    Hi all,

    Probably a bit of a strange request this, but does anyone know how secure files on a usb stick?

    I have created a programme that runs entirely off a USB stick and I don't want people to be able to steal it, essentially. I have read in some places that it is possible to make the drive write-protected, does anybody have any experience with doing this?

    I have created the program on the USB rather than a CD as it needs to be able to write to the stick rather than just read from it. I've found this to be a bit of an issue on the copy protection front also.

    Essentially I want people to still be able to use my prog, but unable to copy the files across to another USB so they can use it. Anyone have any bright ideas?

    Protecting files on a USB stick?

    KISS

    All you need to do is restrict access to the folder that contains the files. If only you can read/modify the files then they can't copy them. This should also allow you to use the program, as shortcuts will allow the program to be ran.
