quickly password either one or a number of files on Linux. For
example to transit some files between sites on a USB drive. The
encrypt option on the zip command line tool will encrypt the contents
of the zip archive using a password which is entered on the terminal
in response to a prompt

Zip encryption is not very strong and could be cracked so use with
caution
