[Discuss] TrueCrypt on a network Drive



Thanks Rich for the fast reply. ?To give you more details, this is what I did

Created a folder called TrueCrypt on the network drive.
Via TrueCrypt App, I created a volume using option "Create an encrypted file container".
I selected standard TrueCrypt volume then I entered Z:\Truecrypt\Truecrypt and selected "never save history"
I selected the default option for encryption.
Used Volume size 1 GB
Entered Password
Use filesystem NTFS moved my mouse around few times.?
Then I went back into Truecrypt, clicked on the J Drive within the Truecrypt window, selected the file on the?Z:\Truecrypt\Truecrypt and clicked Mount. ?I was able to move files in the J drive.

Few days later using the J drive, I can not get in anymore. ?What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Aldo
???

NTFS is not a cluster-aware file system. If you have the container
mounted in two places at the same time then you've almost certainly
destroyed the contents.
