How can I give a password to a zip file on Mac OS X without downloading any additional program?
2 Answers
I found the solution.
Go to Terminal and type
zip -er (zipfile's name).zip (File path)
Enter password: (your password)
Verify password: (type it again)
press enter. That's it. It will be saved to your main folder. You have a passworded zip file now.
Add password for an existing zip file:
zipcloak file.zip
Limitations listed in man zipcloak for v3.0:
- zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is considered weak.
- Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.
