Ok here at work I have been charged with finding a way to create a password protect .tar files from the command line. Now i have yet to actully sit down and learn UNIX yet, but that is one of my next todo's. Anyway my questions is I have been surfing in search of a solution and the closest answer I can come up with is get two programs, a compression program to make the .tar, then an encryption program for the password protect and write a script that runs them both. First question, is this the easiest way? Second question, where can I find said programs? Thanks for your time.
