Can you password protect a zip file using ReportCaster? I have a job which need to run on a schedule. It currently is being created and saved to a local drive(mine) and someone(me) is manually creating a winzip file and giving it a password which will need to be dynamic according to a naming standard. Then that same someone mails it to a distribution list.

I would really like to do this using ReportCaster. I cannot find anywhere in the documentation about creating a password for the zipped file.

Thanks!

I recently updated my profile to show I am now on 7.7.3 unix environment

From the ReportCaster Development and Library Content Version 7 Release 7.03 doc, chapter 2, Creating and Maintaining Distribution Lists:

quote:

When creating a schedule, you can distribute scheduled output to a single recipient, or to several recipients. If you are creating a schedule to be distributed to several recipients, you may want to create an external distribution file consisting of multiple recipients. The external distribution file can then be assigned to any schedule. An external distribution file is functionally similar to a Distribution List except it is created outside of ReportCaster.
Creating an External Distribution File
In addition, you can include a password in a Distribution File. If you include a password in a Distribution File, the distribution output is encrypted in a password protected Zip file if the Zip option is selected. This option is only available if the ReportCaster Server Configuration option, Zip Encryption Password Plug-in, is set to None. When the ReportCaster Server Configuration option, Zip Encryption Password Plug-in, is set to Default or to a custom value, passwords in a Distribution File are ignored because the plug-in provides passwords.
