UTOMATICALLY ENCRYPTING AND COMPRESSING TRANSFER

S

To automatically encrypt and compress files before transfer, you will need both CuteZIP and 

CuteFTP Professional. You can also compress and encrypt files after transferring them by 

using GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP S r

e ver s Custom Site Commands. The benefits of 

encrypting files prior or post transfer depends on the circumstances and level of trust for the 

particular host. 

In the example script below, an entire folder (including sub folders) is compressed, 

encrypted (usi g

n  Twofish 128 bit encryption) and then transferred via regular FTP to an 

FTP server. Since the archived file is encrypted, there is no need to connect using SSL, OTP, 

or SSH2 unless you wished to also protect the login process. 

Example 

Dim WshShell, MySite, Return 

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")  Window s 

Scripting Host shell object 

 next line calls the run method of the WSH shell object. 

It returns true once CuteZIP does it  

s thing. 

 The complete command line instructions for CuteZIP are 

located here. 

If Return = WshShell.run 

("c:\progra~1\ l

g obal~1\CuteZIP\cutezip.exe  c  p12345 

c:\archive c:\temp", 0, true) Then 

  Set MySite = CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection")
