Restricting specific folder access to a user

I have three users. For one user I want to restrict access to some specific folders. When I tried to do this through Ubuntu GUI, it did not work. Can you please tell me some commands so that I can disable listing of that folder to a specific user?
I have read on the net that I have to create groups and then assign permission to these groups, but I don't want to create groups since I have just one user.
I have tried the following, but it did not work:
sudo chmod 755 -R my_folder
Please tell me any inputs you want from my side.
command-line chmod user-management

The easiest way to do this is to create a new group. Add users you want to be able to view the folder to the group. Then change the permissions of the folder withsudo chmod 750 -R [folder]. You have to logout and back in before group changes will take effect. A more complicated option is to use Access Control Lists.

chmod -Ris almost never a good idea. Now all files below that folder are executable. Not exactly sensible.
