Using an archive encrypted with a password The password is defined with zipPassword. Once the password is defined, it is used for all the following archiving operations: - File addition: the added files will be encrypted with this password
- File extraction: the password will be used to decrypt all the extracted files.
The password is active for the archive on which it was defined. The password is lost when the archive is deleted ( zipClose). It must be specified again after zipOpen or zipCreate. Miscellaneous - A different password can be specified for each added or extracted file in the same archive. Each time a file is added or extracted, use zipPassword and specify the password expected by the file to be added or extracted.
- Unable to directly modify the password of a file found in an archive. You must extract the file, delete it from the archive and re-add it to the archive with the new password.
