its not possible to directly password protect folders w/o special software but here is a quick method to doing it by creating a password protected Disc image (.dmg)
@shaynesabala of course, and you can try to use teamviewer although not encrypted, it's still fairly safe and needs a password to start the connection. other then that i have found nothing sorry.
Thanks for the fast response. Well I can use this method for my macbook, (helpful). I still need to figure out how to safely send large files over the internet. Oh and like I said before, the receiver needs to be able to open them on a pc. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
@shaynesabala just tested sending one to a 2011 windows 7 machine and was unable to open it. this method works on the mac principal of mounting disc images which only works on windows with an actual disc (ie. flash drive)

If I use this method can I email the file/folder and provide a pc user the password to open it?
