Zip and Encrypt
The Encrypt task allows you to encrypt and zip files from a directory, or a directory tree. The encryption technique is Winzip AES256 zip.
Password
Please remember this password or write it down safely. If you forget the password we cannot recover it for you.
Source Directory
Enter the full pathname of the directory where your source files exists.
Filename
Enter the filename filter for the files you wish to zip encrypt using the following wildcard rules. This field also supports dynamic variables. Using dynamic variables, you can select a file based on current date/time.
Folder Path Filter
Leave this field blank if you want all folders to be processed. If you need
specific folders to be processed, then enter the folder name or path, using
the following wildcard rules. If a folder passes the filter, then all
its subfolders will also pass the filter.
Simple Example: Folder = c:\test , subfolders = john, john\old, sam, sam\old,
joe, joe\old
Folder path filter = john . john and john\old are
processed
Folder path filter = jo . john,
john\old, joe, joe\old are processed
Folder path filter = old . sam\old,
john\old, joe\old are processed
Folder path filter = test . all files in c:\test
and its sub folders are processed
Folder path filter = john\old. only john\old is processed.
Folder path filter = c:\test\john . john and john\old are
processed
Append to Filename
It is recommended that you add an extension for the zip filename. If you regularly encrypt+zip a file, and wish to save each encryption+zip to a different filename based on current time/date, choose an append file option.
Target Directory
Enter the full pathname of the directory, where you need to put the target zip files(s). Note that the path is case sensitive on Unix systems.
Place zip file(s) in new subdirectory
If you select "None", no new subdirectory is created within the Target Directory.
If you select Date, a new subdirectory based on the date, is created within the Target Directory. All files are placed in this directory.
If you select Date/Time, a new subdirectory based on date and time, is created within the Target Directory. All files are placed in this directory.
Include subdirectories
If you select this option, all file within the Source Directory tree, are added to the zip archive. If a subdirectory does not exist within the Target directory, then it is automatically created.
Date Filter
If you need to filter files based on file modified date, select this option. For the Between option, enter 2 values separated by '-' (2-4 etc.). Examples:
Older than 5 Minute, Newer than 2 Day, Between 3-5 Day, Between 1-4 Hour
Backup Source Files
If you select this option, all source files are backed up to this folder. PLEASE NOTE that this option does not back up to subdirectories if the subdirectory option is selected. All files are backed up to this folder.
