Can I copy
or move an encrypted file or folder
across the network?
No. When
you attempt to gain access to a file on
a shared network resource, the following
error message may be displayed:
This
behavior can occur if the shared file
was encrypted by another user using the
Windows 2000 Encrypted File System
(EFS), even if you have full access to
the share. To resolve this issue, the
owner of the file must decrypt the file
on the network share.
You can use
EFS to encrypt files on remote servers.
However, EFS encrypts files on only the
hard disk; it doesn’t encrypt data that
users transmit over the wire. To encrypt
data you transfer over the network, you
must use a method that encrypts all
TCP/IP client communications (e.g., IP
security) or offers similar protection
(e.g., Secure Sockets Layer - SSL). |
