# 3.8 Transferring Files Securely

You can use DropDMG to transfer files from one Mac to another, while protecting them from unauthorized access.

1. Put the files in a folder.
2. Go to the Configurations tab of DropDMG’s Preferences window and set DropDMG to create a compressed `.dmg` image that’s encrypted with a passphrase.
3. Drag your folder onto DropDMG. This will create an encrypted `.dmg` file.
4. You can then send this file via e-mail, upload it to Dropbox or an FTP server, or transfer it physically (via a flash drive, hard disk, CD, etc.) without worrying about anyone accessing its contents.
5. An authorized person can access the files by double-clicking the `.dmg` file and entering the passphrase.
