We currently have CF7 here and use zip.cfc to create zip files, however, we
have a new project which needs password protected zip files.  Is anyone else
using zip.cfc and generating zip files with passwords?

Alternatively, can CF8 generate a zip file with a password?  If yes, could
someone point me to how.

I know that password protection on zip files can be cracked, but the project
owner requires it.  Thanks!

ccsimmons,

I haven't looked at zip.cfc, but another option you could consider is
installing 7-zip (http://7-zip.org/) on your server and using cfexecute to
perform the zip command.  7-zip is free and has lots of options, including
several encryption methods.

7-zip is a great option for people with control over their own server. If you
are on a shared host it will likely be a challenge to get the hosting provider
to install it.

Of course, if your objective is to generate and deliver confidential
information, a shared host is hopefully not what you are using!
