- FileLocker V1.0, ©TigerSoft 1997
- Programmed by Thomas Graff Thøger
-
-
- FileLocker can lock files so noone can access them.
- This is usefull when using a network and want some files on a device
- to be private, while other files are to be public.
-
- By importing the filenames of the files to make private, and marking
- them as locked, the file will be lcoked by FileLocker. This makes
- the files inaccessible until they are unlocked by FileLocker again.
-
- There is one catch, though: You can't access the files yourself either!
- If you need to access a locked file you have to unlock the file manually,
- then access it, and finally lock it again.
- In the time the file is unlocked it will become publicly available.
-
- It is also possible to lock directories with FileLocker. However, for
- reasons of speed and memory usage only the selected directory will be
- locked. The individual files in the directory will still be unlocked.
- So, if somebody know the path and filename, they can still open the file.
- However, it is not possible to get a directory listing of a locked
- directory, so once locked other users will not be able to see the
- filenames in the directory.
