[dba-Tech] Sending Large Files

[rocky smolin]

You are correct, sir. Fooled myself on that one - tested the encrypted zip
file by dragging individual files out of the zip file and they each
requested the password.

When I did as you said, password was only needed once. 

Thanks.

Can they not use the password to unzip all the files to a folder on their
computer, surely then they are not asked for a password after ?
