Password protecting a Zip file in windows 7

So I am trying to figure out how to password protect a zip file using the built in zipping utility in windows 7. In windows xp and vista once you have created a zipped file you open the file and select file>add password.
In windows 7 (currently using pro) there is no "add password" option, anyone have any idea why this is? Or is there some other way of adding a password to a windows zip file that I am not aware of? Am I being forced to add a 3rd party
zip app in order to password protect files?
if so my other question is why would such a simple/convenient feature be removed from an operating system that is suppose to be superior then the previous?

According to the Windows 7 Help file there is no such capability in windows 7:
Can I protect files or folders with a password?
No, you can't use a password to protect files and folders in
Windows. However, some programs that run on Windows allow you to protect individual files with a password. For more information, check the Help for the program you're using.
There are other ways to protect your files and folders in Windows. You can
encrypt your files using Encrypting File System (EFS), manually specify who can access the folders or files by setting permissions, or hide them. Choose your method based on how secure the folders or files need to be.
Encrypting is the most secure, while hiding the folders is the least secure.
For more information about EFS, see What is Encrypting File System (EFS)? For more information about permissions, see
What are permissions?

How to password protect a zip file

How can I password protect a zip file and if I email the file will the recipient need the password?

I found a nifty tip to encrypt a zip file that is built into OSX. The only issue is you have to use the command line (Terminal). If you don't mind a little tinkering here is how you can encrypt your files to an encrypted zip without buying any other program.
1. Open up a Terminal window on your mac
2. Navigate "cd" to the directory where the file you what to make an encrypted zip file.
3. Type:
zip -e SecretEncryptedFile.zip FileToEncrypt.txt
Note: the man pages have more than you ever wanted to know about the zip command: "man zip"
To unencrypt simple double click on the file and type the password. I have also unencrypted the files on a PC.

Can I password protect a zip file?

Is it possible to encrypt or place a password on a zip file created in the Finder?

not from finder. you can do it from terminal if you wish or use some 3rd part archiving tool like Stuffit . I think it can make password protected zip files. but zip passwords can be cracked. a better option is to use an encrypted disk image instead of a zip file. you can make one with disk utility.

Password for a zip file

Dear,
We have a procedure which compress and email a file (account stmt) to 100s of customers daily. Please give idea on protecting that zip file with password before emailing.
It is something similar to credit cared statement where only the recipient should able to open.
I have searched in many sites, it seems it is possible by Unix but we need in PL/SQL
Thanks in advance

Password protect a Numbers file

Hello friends, I was wondering how to password protect a numbers file. I'm creating a financial report and only some eyes can see it. Anyway to force a user to enter a password before it opens is the goal. I appreciate your assistance. Gary

I advice against using the built in password function for really confidential data.
Apple has not specified what level of encryption is used, and it is possible that the encryption level is so low that any hacker can open the file.

How to set password for a zip file?

I am able to add files to a zip file using java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream. I'd like to set password for the generated zip file, but could not find any relevant API in JDK doc.
How to do that in Java? Maybe using a third party library?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks bro, I am looking at the Zip4J :) one of its feature is "Read/Write password protected Zip files" :)

How do I password protect a pdf file - getting error messages?

I'm trying to protect a pdf file (i.e. a tax return printed to PDF) with password to open and password to modify. However I'm getting an error message in a pop up window saying..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder." I'm using WIN 8.1. and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (student / teacher version). This is a standalone PC so I can't imaging someone else is using this file. Also I've tried renaming and saving to a different folder (from the folder the original file is saved). I've also looked at properties of the PDF file and its not tagged as read only. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for responding...I'm getting the same message that I got at first..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder."
The next day I emailed the file to my work PC and encrypted it with no problems. I have WIN 7 and am using Acrobat 8.0 there. So the problem seems to be with my new PC here at home (i.e. WIN 8.1 and Acrobat XI). Frustrating. I'm betting its some obscure setting in WIN or Acrobat, that is way over my head. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

Is there a way to password protect a single file in numbers?

Is there a way to passwork protect a single file in Numbers?

Not directly no - there is this work-around which should still work on iOS 6, or you could see if any of the third-party email apps in the app store support a password, or just access your account via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for your account's login page)
