Yes.Will that way compress files?
Free:Is there a free file-compressing app that you would you suggest, one that will have an option to set a password for protecting the compressed files?
You can create a zip file with a password from the command line. e.g.
will create a password protected file called test.zip (after prompting for the password) that contains all the files in the current directory.Code:zip -er test.zip *
You can decrypt the file with macOS's Archive Utility.
Correct. Keep it simple.Thanks for all the help guys. I have a feeling that .dmg might be the best cause it will open on any Mac without needing to have an app. Isn’t that correct?
Disk Utility offers 128-bit AES and 256-bit AES encryptiondo you know if password protected zip files as secure as encrypted dmg files?
