[QUOTE="Er_bhambra, post: 1125952, member: 94221"] I am not able to set Folder permission in my USB drive. I tried following steps & methods which are not fruitful to me: Method 1. a. Right clicked folder and selected Get Info. b. Here i'm not able to Lock my folder and also i don't see any File/Folder permission settings. Only i can see Read & write permission. Method 2: a. Opened Terminal b. tried the following command sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/Transcend/<Folder name> c. i tried ls -l which again reflected permission drwxrwxrwx. Method 3: I tried batchmod utility which is also not so useful. Now please let me know by which i can set my folder permission in my USB drive. To which no other person can read or write. If possible not even copy from usb drive. [/QUOTE]
