The "zip" command has an "--encrypt" option. As long as your recipient has WinZip (paid or trialware), you should be able to do the following: 1. Use "zip --encrypt" to create an archive. 2. Send the archive. 3. Send the password in a separate email. I do this at my day job at least once a week, and haven't had a problem yet. The zip(1) man page will provide additional details. Good luck. -- Matthew Graybosch https://matthewgraybosch.com #include <disclaimer.h> gemini://starbreaker.org gemini://tanelorn.city "Out of order?! Even in the future nothing works."
