how to create and password protected zip archive in ubuntu

Dec 3, 2008 Technology

This is the command used to create encrypted zip files(password protected), i was struggling hard for sometime to see if there is a gui option to do this, unfortunately i couldn’t find any. the command will ask you for a new password and a confirm password, once you give it you get the zip file out.

zip -e myzipfile.zip mytextfile.txt

and so it works and i m happy.
