Questions. Since you use it, maybe you can tell me if this works. I'd like to use this on a USB stick for files/directories. Thing is, if I give it to someone who uses windoze, can they just put in the password and open it or does it have to be on the original system? It sounds like it will work on different systems. Basically, I'd like to transfer files from one system to another but it be encrypted while in transit. I use Linux, they use windoze tho. That make sense? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
