Encrypt Already Existing Zip

See more Zip Examples

To encrypt an already existing non-encrypted .zip, the application must open the .zip, set the encryption related properties, and then re-write. C

#include <C_CkZip.h>

    // This requires the Chilkat Zip API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Unlock Chilkat Zip for sample code.
