Good day folks.
I know I've asked about this in the past, but the subject of "Password
protected zip archives in RISC OS" has again raises its annoying head...
I was wondering if there's been any progress since I last enquired, as non
of the various app I have will do the business.
ZipEE
!p7zip with front ends.
Infozip
IZipper
Nor the usual...
SparkFS
Etc.
Thanks
Dave
There's a test zip archive at:
http://www.triffid.co.uk/dstuff/Tester01.zip
The zip archive is: "Tester01" it contains three test text files.
The password is "test!" (Sans quotes).
Any useful thoughts appreciated. :-)
Thanks
Dave
Obviously no problem Win PC side with 7-Zip and PKZip.

password with SparkFS 1.55
But I now assume its the files within that are password protected not the
zip itself.
I found if you dragged one of the txt file back onto the SparkFS icon you
get offered a number of 'Save As' options. Have you tried any of these?
Otherwise maybe it needs raising with ROOL as a possible new option in
SparkFS for the future.

Chris, That is very interesting...
Yes the files withinn the archive are protected.
Here my SparkFS 1.46 doesn't do what you describe... Nothing I have on
RISC OS will access the text files.
I do have a test beta app IZipper (Not my app) which was created to work
with password protected Zip archives, and even that won't do the business.
Any Idea where SparkFS 1.55 is avilable from?
Thanks

I downloaded 1.55 from the ROOL site and installed it.
It will open the archive as expected, but will not do the business with
the protected text files within.

It's part of the RISC OS 5 disc image, isn't it?

It's also available as a self extracting file from the Download site.

"Well did... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Really."
P7zip would appear to be the encoding format.
PS: I did extract it on RiscOS

Correct... And interesting Terry,
I have version 1.10 of Izipper but I can't get it to open the archive and
display the contents here on my RISC OS 6.20

Can confirm that, p7zip (commandline-tool) is your choice. Consider to
type Tester01.zip in the commandline, instead of Tester01/zip.
So if you are in the same Dir as Tester01/zip, type at the CLI:
*7za x Tester01.zip
--> Enter password:
will work :-) (p7zip Version 9.2 here).

Unzip 6.00 reports "need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v2.1)"
It can list the file contents of the archive, but not extract them, even
using the '-P password' option.

Did you drag the txt file from within the zip file on to the SparkFS icon,
you should have been offered a variety of types to re save as. My quick
test seems to allow me to save them in the other formats I only tried 2
GZip and UUencode. But I did not have Gzip on my machine to test any
further.

I got it via Packman, as ROOL seem to now be looking after it.

It is AES 256 encoded.
So the answer to your question is, I saved out one of the files as a .gz
file.
Went Windows side to see if anything would open it.
Nothing I have would open it; 7-Zip, WinZip a couple of online unzippers,
would open the .gz file saved out of SparkFS.
So I'm afraid that's a cul-de-sac move. :-)
Thanks to everyone who has made suggestions, but like the last time I
asked this a year or so ago, nothing has changed...
So as before, the project is now ended.
I'll Just extract the mail attachment, bung it Win side into 7-Zip and
then bring the unzipped file back to RISC OS.
As she only runs Virtual RISC OS that's an easy route.
Thanks
Dave on Fay's behalf...
