Question
Cheryl_27
A partner & I are starting a (very) small business on a shoestring. I have Windows machines - he has Mac (OS X - Leopard??).
Looking for encryption capable file archiver(s) that can read AND write in same format, to email back & forth from Mac to Windows & vice versa. Could be same prgm w/ Windows & OS X versions, or 2 diff prgms. Preferably free or shareware, good stability & GUI. I'm familiar w/ a lot of the Windows prgms - not much for Mac. It's a short list of free Mac archivers that will handle the more common formats for Windows (that I've found).
Speed & final compression ratio aren't as important as compatibility of sharing files between Windows & Mac.
Finding prgm(s) to open a file (say, 7-zip, zip) from Windows to Mac & vice versa, isn't as big a problem as finding programs that
will read AND write the same format, that both platforms can use.
both use encryption - preferably 256 bit, but 128 would be acceptable for now.
If 2 separate prgms, must read / write format that the other prgm easily handles (on Win or Mac).
GUI - perferably.
I see WinRAR now has a Mac version, but only command line?
I've seen Keka for OS X mentioned - know nothing about it. Says handles zip, 7-zip.
Other free ones, for OS X, (possibly w/ encryption), that read / write formats compatible w/ many Win based archivers:
P7-Zip (port of 7-Zip) - know nothing about its stability or useability.
Info Zip - (possibly weak encryption?)
I'd appreciate any comments on these mentioned or others I've missed that fit our needs. Thanks.
