[BigZip] files from bigzip can't be opened
bigzip
Web icon
Forge asset by Alfaro

hi, I want to make a zip and given a password for the zip, the zip is successfully created but when I unzip it, the file is not there. I'm using Forge BigZip

then I tried using forge zip, the file was successfully formed, but I want my zip to have a password

so how do you get the file to be zipped and given a password?

Hi Sherly,

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. The image you included shows a MicroSoft Office XLSX or DOCX file that's being treated as a ZIP (they are both ZIP archives with a different name), which has nothing to do with a ZIP archive having a password.

I also can't deduce from your description whether you create a file with BigZip and try to unzip it in Windows, or that you created a file with a password with some other tool and then tried to unzip it with BigZip, or that you tried to both zip and unzip a file with password using BigZip.

So please provide more information about what steps you took, and what you expect the outcome of each step to be.
