I know you can use encryption to compress files, but is there a way to not show the file names within the archive without a password ?
Vielen Dank,

Why not just encrypt the entire file ?
In other words, leave the file name as blah.zip ,
but when a person uses a file typing utility, it
will read as "noise". Then, the user will know
the entire thing is encrypted, and "something
very interesting" is inside.
Their favorite unzipping utility, won't be able
to open the file at all.
You run some kind of encryption program, after
the original ZIP is created...
directory ==> winzip ==> PGP ==> "blah.zip"
*******
An alternate approach, is to rename all the
files yourself. Go to the source directory,
and change
knownfilename.txt ==> efieruchwscshgrt.fbg
As long as you keep records, of which file is which,
they'll not know of their value. Or, they could assume
a file named "efieruchwscshgrt.fbg" is interesting,
and proceed to break the ZIP encryption.
