(Ruby) Create Password Protected Zip containing a Single File.

Create a password-protected .zip containing a single file. (This uses the older Zip 2.0 encryption scheme, which is weaker and not as secure as AES encryption, which Chilkat Zip also supports.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

success = zip.NewZip("test.zip")

    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

zip.SetPassword("secret")
zip.put_PasswordProtect(true)

saveExtraPath = false
success = zip.AddFile("/temp/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath)

success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Zip Created!" + "\n";
