I need to know a way to password protect folders/files on my file server.I need people who are connected to the network to be able to access those files/folders with a password.I have used Folder Guard installed on each desktop and that worked great, but now I have a wireless access point. It is used primarily for internet access, but some need to access the network files. anyone who connects to my wireless network has access to our files. please help.

You can set up file sharing on your network and then grant permissions by userid and password (normally the ones they use to log into their machines). Even over a wireless network someone not authorized to access those shares won't even be able to see them.
