4.6   Transferring Files Securely

You can use DropDMG to transfer files from one Mac to another, while protecting them from unauthorized access.

  1. Put the files in a folder.
  2. Set DropDMG to create a compressed .dmg image that’s encrypted with a passphrase.
  3. Drag your folder onto DropDMG. This will create an encrypted .dmg file.
  4. You can then send this file via e-mail, upload it to a Web or FTP server, or transfer it physically (via flash drive, hard disk, CD, etc.) without worrying about anyone accessing its contents.
  5. An authorized person can access the files by double-clicking the .dmg file and entering the passphrase.
