Syntaxt to zip a file with password protection
Hi Experts,
I am an SAP ABAP developer and compleatly stranger to unix and I need a help to extend a small peice of code. Our requirement is to zip a file with password protection in a specified directory. Following is the code I am using to zip a file ZZZZ.TXT. Here YYYY = is the path where the file is stored. ZZZZ is the name of the file. cd /YYYY;zip -r ZZZZ.zip ZZZZ.TXT Please let me know the syntax to create the zip file with password protection. I saw some where that we can use "-P password" to make the zipfile password protected, but I am not sure where/how exactly it can be used within the above syntax. Although -P is not safe, it is OK with us, as we are triggering this command from SAP. This is quite urgent for us. Thanks in advance. Veerendranath Maddula. |

Be aware that many precompiled versions of zip do not include the encryption capability. You may need to compile and install your own version with the encryption options included. You can check whether it has encryption support by examing the 'special compilation options' in the output of zip -v.
