How to create a 7z, rar or zip file.
 

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any way to create a password protected 7z, rar or zip file on our fantastic n900. I've searched with no luck.
Cheers.

you can try InfoZIP's Zip or P7zip. it's in the extras-testing repository.

I have them installed but I can't create an archive with them, only unzip and unrar.
Thanks though.

to create an archive with password protection, use this command:
zip -e archivename.zip zipfile_list.
the process will prompt you to enter the password

This is what I've got, I tried it without the fullstop after the word list as well:

~ $ cd MyDocs/Downloads
~/MyDocs/Downloads $ zip -e TESTER.zip zipfile_list.
Enter password:
Verify password:
zip warning: name not matched: zipfile_list.

zip error: Nothing to do! (TESTER.zip)
~/MyDocs/Downloads $

you should replace the 'zipfile_list' with the list of file you want to add to archive.
e.g. if you want to put file README.txt and LICENSE.txt into archive file TESTER.zip, the command is:
zip -e TESTER.zip README.txt LICENSE.txt
