Encrypt Single File or Zipped File

You have the option of encrypting the zipped file for privacy purpose. A password will be
required upon decryption.
Encrypt a Single File
Click on the “Create” button in the menu bar and the following dialog box will appear. This
option allows you to secure a single file with a password. Select the “Encrypt file” option.
A dialog will appear which prompts you to enter the password, retype the password, and put a
password hint.
You can also make the password entered visible.
The encryption password is case-sensitive. You can enter up to 16 characters and no spaces
should be allowed in between the characters. If the passwords entered do not match, an
error message will appear. You will need to retype your password. Press the “OK” button to
continue.
Once the passwords match, click on the “OK” button in the “Encryption Password” dialog box
and the following window should appear.
There will be a tick in the “Encrypt file” box. Click on the “OK” button to continue. A browser
window will allow you to enter a file name for your encrypted file to be saved. Please note
that the file type is Enc.

Encrypt Then Zip a Single File and In Reverse Order
You can also encrypt and zip a single file and save as Enc or Zip type file. Again, after
clicking on the “Create” button in the menu bar above the archive window, then choose
“Encrypt file” option. Enter the password, retype the password and enter a hint. Click on
“OK” button to continue. For more information on the “Encryption Archive” window, refer to
page 10.
To encrypt and zip an archive with a single file, put a tick in the “Zip file” box. A modified
window will allow you to choose the operation order.
Choose “Encrypt then Zip” if you would like the archive to be save as a Zip file.
Choose “Zip then Encrypt” if you would like the archive to be save as a Enc file.
Click on the “OK” button to continue. A browser window will appear. Enter a file name for the archive to save in your desire location.

Zip and Encrypt Multiple Files
If you are dealing with multiple files in the archive, you have two options when creating the
archive. You can simply zip the file, or you can encrypt the zipped file. However, you can not
encrypt multiple files without compression.
After clicking on the “Create” button in the menu bar above the archive window, choose the
“Encrypt zipped file” option. Enter the password, retype the password and enter a hint. Click
on “OK” button to continue. For more information on the “Encryption Archive” window, refer to
page 10.
You will see both options are selected.
If you try to unclick the “Zip file” option, an error message will tell you that you must compress
the archive for encryption of multiple files. Click on the “OK” button to continue.
