zip passwords

Post by sirgeepee »

Further question, which is embarassingly straightforward

In an attempt to repay the kindness of Kizzie and the other main posters, I want to upoad some clips from some homemade vids, and would like to send them via turboupload or similar as password protected zipped files, but can't remember how to set up the password.

silly, i know, but can anyone remind me/

Thanks

Create a normal zip file. When it is completed, right click on it and a small menu will appear.

Place your curser over "winzip" and scroll down to "encrypt"

Click on that and winzip will open. Once open it will prompt you to give a password and you will have to verify it.

Zip file is now password protected

I apologise, I read that incorrectly, I thought you were asking how to make a passworded download on that site. and as I had not used that site to host anything, I didnt know how to answer.
