| Hi. Is there anny way I can create password protected compresses files (using tar cpio or aanything else) on a SCO unix server. The files should be extracted on a windows system using a tool like winzip or winrar, than I need to supply a password to extract the files. anny hint might help. Pieter |

Zip also allows for encryption, and is available in both source and binary and has been ported to SCO. |

I never thought it could be so easy. Thanx. Dex. |

Zip is another possibility, I have not used it so I can't speak for it's abilities. Scott McMillan |

FYI, zip/unzip have been around almost as long as pkzip and have been commonly used on *nix systems. The output from zip is also readable by pkzip, winzip, etc. Again, did not mean to offend. |

That's what the OP is looking for - Creating the archive on the SCO system, and extracting on Windoze boxen. > FYI, zip/unzip have been around almost as long as > pkzip and have been commonly used on *nix systems.

I was going to suggest gzip as well, but was surprised to find no mention of a password in the man pages. Perhaps I missed it. Scott McMillan |

However zip is better, although the encryption is somewhat weaker, because of it's platform availability, and M$ applications can read it's output. |

I was guessing(tm) gzip would have an internal encryption scheme for compatibility with the Windoze compression packages. I don't know if WinRAR, Winzip, etc. could decipher a file created with crypt, des, etc., maybe its time I tried it. Scott McMillan |
