Default Set password for Folder

I have folder and I have some files in it .
I want set password for this folder and nobody can not open it and browse it

but

I can open this folder in Windows system for example I write this folder in CD and go to my friends home and can open it with password .

I can do this with winrar in windows , but I test , when I set pass for some folder with WINRAR , I can open and browse files in FreeBSD and Linux and I can copy them

when I set password for folder in Windows with WINRAR , it work only in windows and that is not need password in FreeBSD.

how I can set password for some folders and it can work in Windows and FreeBSD and other OS ???

You can use 7zip to make password protected archives, I don't know how RAR works, but 7-zip encrypts the entire archive with AES-256, and should be secure, from http://7-zip.org/7z.html

Quote:
7-Zip also supports encryption with AES-256 algorithm. This algorithm uses cipher key with length of 256 bits. To create that key 7-Zip uses derivation function based on SHA-256 hash algorithm. A key derivation function produces a derived key from text password defined by user. For increasing the cost of exhaustive search for passwords 7-Zip uses big number of iterations to produce cipher key from text password.
You can also just make a tar.gz and encrypt that with gpg or OpenSSL ...

but why when I set password for folder in Windows with Winrar , I can browse this folder in FreeBSD with MC (Midnight Commander ) ??

Are you sure when I set pass with 7Zip this folder can not browse in other OS like Linux and FreeBSD and Solaris ?

So does the Windows WinRAR version. It can browse those files, too.

It set passwords for file, which mean you can browse, but you cant access file without password.

It's also in /usr/ports/archivers/p7zip -- this may be easier

Maybe use http://www.truecrypt.org/ a cross platform free open-source disk encryption software for win/osx/linux/bsd

You will find a package here:
