Java Lock the required folder
Hi friends,

5-6 users are using the same login in one of our Unix server.
My question is, Is it possible to lock some folder using seperate password other than login password by each user, so that that folder is not accessible to other users.

Please guide/suggest me.

Cheers~~

"man htpasswd" if web server is installed.

Web Server is not installed.
Sorry Sysgate.

Web Server is not installed.
Any other alternatives to this?

might work
This might work....try getting each individual user his / her own user id. Multiple people using the same login has its issues. In doing that you can have private folders without passwords.

Hi Sowser,

Since 3-4 of us using admin login for different purpose, we don't want to create multiple user Id's.
Other than this, is there any other options? This will definitely help our learnings also. Please suggest me.
