Zip file with password using an applescript

Hi all;
I want zip a file with a password using an apple script. The problem is that I'll run the command
zip -ejr outfile infile
but how do I submit the password to the terminal?
I don't want the terminal to be visible during the process so I'm using this command:
tell application "Terminal" to do shell script sh
where sh is the command I want to run.
Thank you!

I'm running out of suggestions over here.
Your exact command line yields this result:
zip warning: name not matched: in.txt
zip error: Nothing to do! (out.zip)
Well, it should, as I don't have an in.txt. Handing it an existing file, I get this:
zip -P pass out.zip result.txt
adding: result.txt (deflated 7%)
.. and opening in the Finder correctly prompts me:
so there must be something wrong with your system.
Very Long Shot: What version do you get when you type this? (I can't imagine this is the actual problem, but you never know.)
zip --version

Decompress ZIP file with Password

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to decompress a ZIP file with password protection?
I have a decompress code, but I don't know how to insert the pass.
Any solution?

Zip files with passwords

I recently created a zip file from a folder with photos. When I send this via email the recipients cannot open the file it ask for a password. I thought maybe it was because the recipient was using windows but since I have parallels on my machine I thought I would pull the file over to parallels windows and it refuses to do it. Any one have an idea that will help. I am new to the mac operating system.

No I did not create a password and yes there is the .zip extension.
I zipped the file due to the number of photos in the folder. My mac mail program only lets you attach photos individually and there was quite a few photos to send.
What I don't get is why I cant drag a photo file into windows parallels. Each time i get a message saying it "cant copy the file: cannot read from source file or disk" this file is on my desktop on the mac side.

Zip file with password

Good morning for everybody!!
I have a code that creates a zipe file. What should I do with this code to implement that functionality of Winzip with password?
Does anybody have any idea??
Thanks in advance!!

It seems that this was raised as a request for enhancement and this still shows as "in progress". But I'm pretty sure that there is no progress on this issue. What you could do is, go through the links posted in there regarding the zip file format and write your own classes.

C# Protect file with password

Hello,
I am creating a notepad where you can protect a file with an password. Try to imagine it as a protected .zip file with username and password, but in this case it's about an text file with a other file extension (.cpd). I tried a lot of codes, but they don't
work. So the question to you guys is: How do i protect a text file (or .cpd file) with C#?
I created the form with the username textBox and the password textBox (+ the login button)
I have experience with C#, but i stay an beginner
Thanks,
Hugo Woesthuis

how do i make the text file in an other coding, so no one can read the text in Notepad, Word , etc
Hi,
Here is an example:
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Filename
string _filename = @"C:\test\testfile.txt";
//Write data to file
FileIO.WriteEncryptedFile(_filename, "HELLO");
//Read data from file
System.Console.WriteLine("File content: " + FileIO.ReadEncryptedfile(_filename));
File input / output class:
public class FileIO
public static void WriteEncryptedFile(string filename, string data)
using (StreamWriter _streamWriter = new StreamWriter(filename, true))
_streamWriter.Write(new Crypto().Encrypt(data));
public static string ReadEncryptedfile(string filename)
using (StreamReader _streamReader = new StreamReader(filename))
return new Crypto().Decrypt(_streamReader.ReadToEnd());
Encryption / decryption class:
class Crypto
byte[] _key { get; set; }
byte[] _iv { get; set; }
public Crypto()
_key = Encoding.Default.GetBytes("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP");
_iv = Encoding.Default.GetBytes("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP");
public string Encrypt(string data)
using(ICryptoTransform _iCrypto = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider().CreateEncryptor(_key, _iv))
var _byteData = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(data);
var _encryptedData = _iCrypto.TransformFinalBlock(_byteData, 0, _byteData.Length);
return Convert.ToBase64String(_encryptedData, 0, _encryptedData.Length);
public string Decrypt(string data)
using (ICryptoTransform _iCrypto = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider().CreateDecryptor(_key, _iv))
var _byteData = Convert.FromBase64String(data);
var _decryptedData = _iCrypto.TransformFinalBlock(_byteData, 0, _byteData.Length);
return Encoding.Default.GetString(_decryptedData);
Remember to change the key and IV in the constructor of the Crypto class, key must be between 16-24 characters long.

Decrypt Zip File with 128bit AES

Hello my name is George ,
I want to make a program to decrypt a zip file with 128-bit AES Algorithm using Brute Force and Dictionary Attack.
Because it is my first time I try to make something with the encrytpion libraries I don't know much.
Because that is an exercise they told us to use this library [http://www.javamex.com/arcmexer/].
So I want to give me some help.
Any help is welcoming.

I want to make a program to read a zip file with a password(aes encrytpion) and I foun the password.
At first i know the password and I want to do If I write it wright.
I read a zip file but when I try to read it with encryption I take that exception.
That is the program

PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter

I have a scenario where PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter, this zip file contains a number of txt files that I need to process, and the content of one of them send it to an ECC, now I'm using the PayloadZipBean Module in the Sender FIle Adapter, and I have two things if I use the Message Protocol as File, I get a Payload for each txt file in the zip file, but this payload has no structure, and if I use the File Content Conversion I get an XML strcuture with only one field and a strange string in it, and somewhere in this string the names of the files I assume all the content of the zip file, can anyone help on how could I achieve what I need that is to pull the zip file via SAP PI, then unzip it, and with the content of one of the txt files send it to an ECC via ABAP Proxy, thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Raul Alvarado

Hello Raul,
you can do it in futher way ...
pickup zip file and simply extract and dump it in another temp folder (can use scripts on OS level).
@ then Use another sender communication channel to pickup all these text file .
for further clarification you can use these links also. -

Decrypt Zip File with AES Cryptography

Hi,
I want to make a programm to decrypt a zip file with aes cryptography in java with gui.
Our professor as a help they gave us that code [http://code.google.com/p/winzipaes/source/browse/winzipaes/src/de/idyl/crypto/zip/AesZipFileDecrypter.java?r=4].
I search in Internet to find out same help for the project but I understood , that other programm don't use all the packages in the example.And i am little confused.
I want some help to find out a solution for this problem.And if you have a similar programm jusy sent it to occupy how I resolve my own problem.

As your professor has given you the crypto code and wants you to write the GUI code this is not a Cryptography question at all. Locking this thread.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like. I am trying to drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though. I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

Cannot extract Zip file with Winzip after zipping with java.util.zip

Tried~
The problem is still here~ >___<
Anyway, thanks for information sharing~
The message is:
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.
The problem may be here:
if (fos != null)
fos.close() ;
if (bos != null)
bos.close();
if (zos != null)
zos.close();
if (file != null)
file = null ;
The fos is closed before bos so the last buffer is not
saved.
zos.close() is enough.
