Encrypting a ZIP File in Windowsīefore encrypting ZIP files in Windows, compress your files into.

Let's take a look at how Windows 10's single system encryption works before discussing password-protecting files using third-party software. Check to see that every file you want to zip is there. When you have finished, type ls zip and press Return. Make sure to use a backslash, not a forward slash. Thus, either you are using Windows 10 Home, or you plan to share the password-protected files on the Internet, you will need to use third-party software or tools to enable encryption. If there is a space in the filename, type it like this: cp file 1 zip.
