Hey people,

I want to make a secure folder to store files on my desktop or server. I have some files that I want to have access too at anytime and I am creating a separate partition on my HDD (like 10 GB or so) and then just put a bunch of folders and files there that I may need in my day to day life.

I was wondering, what would be the best route to make this happen. Naturally, I don't want just anyone logging in and accessing my files. I have iptables and firestarter already but I'd like a little more to protect my data. I want to access it from my laptop or any computer (even from the local machine(s)) and be secure. Any ideas on what to do?

Cool, any good tutorials for it that aren't Linux specific? I use Ubuntu about 50% of the time and openSuSe the other 50% so when I can get both, I am happy. Let me know guys. Thanks.
