Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Create Password Protected Zip containing a Single File.

See more Zip Examples

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.) Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local zip = chilkat.Zip.new()

local success = zip:new_zip("test.zip")
if not success then
    print(zip.last_error_text)
    return
end

ERROR: Method not in Chilkat for Lua: Zip.SetPassword

local saveExtraPath = false

success = zip:write_zip_and_close()
if not success then
    print(zip.last_error_text)
    return
