Is anybody have any idea, how to encrypt file using cmd.

I tried to use this, but no luck.

zip -p secretpasswd foo.zip file.txt

zip error: Invalid command arguments (no such option: P)

Any help would be much much appreciated.

This is NOT an oracle question

what do you see if you do as below?

zip /?

it appear your zip utility was not coded to Windoze standard to produce HELP information.

/? works for some/many/most commands on Windows.
