When creating a zip file with password protection in Ubuntu 16.04, using the Nautilus context menu, I was asked for zip options like password protection.
Under Ubuntu 18.04 there seems to be no way to select any zip options. Therefore it is not possible to create a zip file with password protection using the Nautilus context menu.
Workarround: creating the zip file with shell command
zip -P pass123 zipfile.zip folder2zip/
Any ideas to create the password protected zip-file from Nautilus?
I, need to zip a directory excluding some subdirectory and file; I used this:
zip -r zipfile.zip . -x ".*" -x "app/bower_components" -x "node_modules" -x "*.zip" -x "node_modules"
without any success; node_modules is a folder in the principal one while bower_components is inside the folder app
I have a large zip file and a limited amount of disk space. Can I determine how much space the expanded contents will take without decompressing the file?
I'm trying to create a zip file from a folder and I'd like to exclude the .git sub-folder from the resulting zip file.
I have gone to the parent folder of the one I want to zip (called bitvolution) and I'm doing:
zip -r bitvolution.zip bitvolution -x ".git"
But it doesn't exclude the .git sub-folder.
I've tried various combinations, -x .git*, -x \.git/*, -x .git/\*, -x \.git/\*. I've also tried using the full path for the exclude argument... but just didn't get there.
How do I create an encrypted (password protected) zip file?
