File-roller should support .7z password protection. The 7z format is able to add a password protection to a file. You need the lib p7zip to use the 7z format with file-roller. Use the following command in a concole to compress a file: 7z a -t7z -p archive.7z filename.ext Use the following command to extract this same file: 7z e archive.7z The password is then asked to the user. When extracting a .7z file that is password protected, a popup window should come up asking the user to enter the password. Here is a mock up of this pop up window: ------------------------------------------------------- <!>This archive is password protected. Please enter the password: ----------- | | ----------- <Ok> <Cancel> -------------------------------------------------------
