A secure filesystem is an extension to the local filesystem and used when the file access
needs to be limited access to specific users and groups. A secure filesystem required a
special file called .access to be placed inside each restricted directory of the filesystem,
which allows the administrator to give different access privileges to named users and
groups.
Attached contains a jar file containing a folder named Sales with an .access file and one report sample.
Contents of .access file:
