Folder Protection

so here, I am assuming that many people have access to your computer and that every user has a separate account on this machine. In this case, the problem is very simple. You just need to change the access rights to your directories, so that nobody else would be able to access them. for instance, if your home directory is /users/home/srirambond you will just need to type the following commands from an x-term: chmod g-rwx /users/home/srirambond chmod o-rwx /users/home/srirambond You can do this with any of your directories. r stands for read, w for write and x for execute. x right will allow/prevent others to cd your directory. I hope this was helpful.
