Questions. Since you use it, maybe you can tell me if this works. I'd |
23 |
like to use this on a USB stick for files/directories. Thing is, if I |
24 |
give it to someone who uses windoze, can they just put in the password |
25 |
and open it or does it have to be on the original system? It sounds |
26 |
like it will work on different systems. Basically, I'd like to transfer |
27 |
files from one system to another but it be encrypted while in transit. |
28 |
I use Linux, they use windoze tho. That make sense? |
