Bug How to zip file in AIX with password.

Hi Guru,

I have assignment to create script to compress file as .ZIP with password.
I don't know the command line in AIX. It's very new for me.
I'm try to use zip or tar but I don't have any option for encrypt with password.
Please kindly suggest me.
Thank you very much.

Hi Skrynesaver,

Thank you for your quick reply.
No result to show on the screen.
and no a new file (zipped.zip)
I think my AIX does not has zip command.
I use "man zip" no any document but I use "man tar", system show tar help.
Please kindly suggest.
Thank you very much.

I was going to suggest
Code:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/unreleased%20Betas/UnZip%20betas/unzip610b.zip/download
unzip unzip610b.zip
cd unzip610b
cp unix/Makefile ./
. unix/configure
make aix
make install

and repeat the test, however there is an obvious problem with this, how do you unzip without zip available.

what does
Code:
man -k zip

suggest you have in the way of tools?

Hi. Skrynesaver,

Thank you very much again.

I've typed as your suggestion.


PHP Code:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/unreleased%20Betas/UnZip%20betas/unzip610b.zip/download 
My AIX can not run wget. So I have to manual download file.

PHP Code:
cp unix/Makefile ./

How do you unzip without zip available
- Actually, I would like to create zip file with password and then I will send ftp .zip file to other server.

It worked, and even told you where it put the executables: /usr/local/bin. That's not likely to be in your PATH, so try running it with the absolute path instead: /usr/local/bin/unzip

I've used zip 3.0 from
PHP Code:

and I can use zip with password protection as "zip -P password zipfile.zip filename.xxx"
