Hey All,
im wokring on an applescript and it makes a large number of folders in a specific hierarchy.
is there a way to password protect one or more of those folders without the script opening the disk utility app to create the image?
Thanks
Applescript-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I assume you mean that you want to create a secure disk image (folders themselves cannot be encrypted, and you did mention disk utility). If so there's a command line utility called hdiutil that will let you create and encrypt disk images; you can call it from do shell script. If you read man hdiutil they give usage examples. If you give more details we can show you the right code.

That makes more sense i kept using diskutil instead of hdiutil
Thanks for pointing that out. 🙂
Encrypt a folder through applescript or terminal
