ZIP with password/Unzip Encrypted files, how ?

[ykhabins]

pdavit,

Thanks a lot.
The URL you provided:
http://clubtotal.free.fr/index.php?dir=Tools/&file=tcArchive_ZIP.Crypto.DLL.zip

and the wcmzip32.dll (size 32768) behind it works great for me.

Regards,
Yitzhak

Do you know whether that works for ZIPs created by all other third-party packers ?

I don’t! But if I’m allowed to speculate, you can never make sure that all third-party zip packers can provide the same level of compatibility. On the other hand, a certain level of standardization should be applicable since all approaches deal with the zip format. Encryption though can be a whole new level of compatibility complexity.

AFAIK they should all be compatible, except for the new versions of WinZip and PKwhateverTheyCallIt which use AES.

Where can I get encryption-enabled WCMZIP32.DLL? All the links in this thread no longer work.

TIA

It looks like it is impossible to unzip password protected *.zip files using built-in TC's facilities.

This is due to Swiss law restrictions. Try this: http://clubtotal.free.fr/index.php?dir=Tools/&file=tcArchive_ZIP.Crypto.DLL.zip

Actually the help TC page on zipping says it is due to restrictive US export laws. I would find it helpful if there was more documentation about this. I come across password protected ZIP archives often and if I don't have to use WinZip just for the password protected files, that would be a lot easier. And if WinZip can create/read password protected ZIP files, why cannot TC?

[Sheepdog]

It is forbidden for @ghisler to offer a Total Commander version that is able to create or unpack a password protected archive.

The Swiss adopted these encryption laws of the USA.

Total Commander contains an interface to implement a ZIP-DLL that supports encryption and decrytion of ZIP-Archives.

To enable your Total Commander version to pack/unpack encryted files you'll have to download the DLL from the link in quoted and overwrite the Wcmzip32.dll in your TC programs folder.

Unfortunately, that link doesn't work.

Is there a new link with a dll that alows encrypting?

[Rein de Jong]

Thanks for the swift answer. I've put the answer in the Dutch forum too. I got questions from Dutch users about it.

[Sheepdog]

The problem with rapidahare is that the files will be deleted if they are not downloaded for a certain time.

[Rein de Jong]

Is there no associated site totalcmd.net or the wiki which can place that file permanent?
I don't know wich country's doesn't adopt these USA laws.

I have uploaded it also on totalcmd.net, "permanently" until further notice:
