Use 7z to compress & encrypt zip files

Posted on April 4, 2018 by SoCRaT 
7z a -tzip -mem=AES128 -bd -y -pPASSWORD -mx=0 -- OUTPUT_FILE.zip file1 file2 file3 file3

This uses AES128 encryption and uses a compression rate of 0 (archive mode). You can pick a number up to 9 (highest compression rate)

Enjoy!
