Abstract
A method for protecting a folder from unauthorized file modification may include receiving, from a remote device, a modify request for a target file in a folder and determining whether the folder is a protected folder. The method may also include determining, in response to determining the folder is the protected folder, whether the remote device is a trusted host. The method may further include allowing, in response to determining that the remote device is the trusted host, the modify request for the target file.
