Description Guillaume Radde 2016-02-15 17:58:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Password protected zip files created with file-roller cannot be opened by Winzip.

This is a common way to securely email sensitive documents. Create a password protected zip file containing the documents, then email it. Unfortunately, the archive created by file-roller cannot be opened by Windows users using Winzip.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
file-roller-3.14.2-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a password protected zip archive using file-roller
2. Email it to a Windows user
3. Have the user open the password protected archive in Winzip.

Actual results:

Winzip will throw an error and won't open the zip.


Expected results:
Winzip should be able to open the zip.

Additional info:
This may be due to the encryption algorithm used by file-roller. 7zip offers 2 encryption methods (ZipCrypto and AES-256). ZipCrypto seems to be compatible with Winzip.
