Mac Terminal Zip Folder With Password

You just created an awesome video or screen recording and you want to share it via e-mail with your friend or colleague. As soon as you attach the file and hit send, your e-mail system doesn’t allow you to send the video, or you receive an angry phone call complaining that you have filled up your friend’s inbox.

Compress that folder into a zip-file. To create a zip-file on Mac, select a folder in Finder, click with the right mouse button on it and choose 'Compress '.' '; on Windows, select a folder in Explorer, click with the right mouse button, point to 'Send to.' And choose 'Compressed (zipped) Folder'. How to Protect Folders With Passwords. Both MacOS and Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education Editions have their own encryption programs that you can use to encrypt and password-protect files and folders on your hard drive.

Video files can range from 10 MB for a one-minute video, to a hundred MB or more for a longer video, making them too large to attach to an e-mail.

Before 2004, you had two options to share a large video file—copy the file to an USB flash drive and pass it to your colleague, or use a sharing service like YouSendIt.

Today, we have many more options to compress and send a large video via e-mail. In this blog post, I will explain 6 easy ways to compress video files:

1. Create a zip file.

The most common way to compress a video is to convert it into a zip file. The file will be reduced in size, and the quality won’t be affected. Although this is a fast and easy way to compress a video, you won’t notice a huge change in file size. This feature is available for both Windows and Mac users:

Right-click on the video file:
- Windows users, choose “Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder”

Mac users, choose “Compress name”

The file will automatically be compressed.

2. Make a video shorter and smaller with iMovie on Mac.

Most Mac devices now come with iMovie, the free movie editing tool from Apple. With iMovie, you can shorten your video and only send a part of it, obviously decreasing the size of the file. Additionally, iMovie contains a feature that prepares your file for e-mail which helps compress it for sending:

Open iMovie and click on the arrow in the top left of the menu bar.

Choose the file you want to import on your computer and click on “My Movie”.
Select the portion of the video you want to use and click “+” (Add the section to the movie).

To export, click “File > Share > Email” and choose “Small” to decrease the file size.

The smaller file will now open in a blank e-mail, ready to send.

3. Download a video in a lower quality.

To download a video from the internet in a lower quality, and therefore a smaller file size, follow this easy procedure for Windows and Mac:

Get the “Download Video” tool as part of Parallels Toolbox Screen and Video Pack or as a stand-alone tool.
Open “Download Video” and click on the settings wheel on the top right.
Select the preferred quality: “Low, Normal, High, or Max”, and then click “Done”.

Copy and paste the link to your video file into the tool (various video sharing site links are supported, including Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and more).

The video will download quickly. You can download a complete playlist, or multiple videos with just one click:

Downloading a file in a low quality compared to high quality can have a huge impact on the video size:

Download a free trial of Parallels Toolbox and try “Download Video”, along with 30+ easy to use tools, all in one simple interface.

4. Use a cloud service.

Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, and others are cloud services that enable you to share big video files easily. They all work more or less the same way, by first registering an account then downloading the desktop client, or accessing the service online. Then you can upload the video file and share the generated link by e-mail with your colleague or friend.

5. Share a video link without uploading.

Parallels Access has a feature, “Share a file” which allows you to share large video files in just a few clicks, without needing a cloud service or uploading the file to your Mac or PC. You simply generate a link to your video and send it to your contacts, with the option of adding a password and expiration date:

Download Parallels Access and activate.
Right-click on the video file that you want to share and select “Share > Parallels Access”

Add a description and password (if preferred) and click on “Share”

A link has been generated that you can share with your contacts via e-mail. They simply click on the link and download the video before the link expires.

6. Make a GIF.

GIFs are playing an increasingly important role, especially on social media. A GIF is basically a mini video, with no sound, that can be watched in just a few seconds. Making a short, animated GIF out of your video will definitely decrease the size, and it can be fun to create:

Open the tool “Make GIF” from Parallels Toolbox.
Drop or copy your video to the tool.
Select the part of the video you want to make a GIF from, add text, and choose the auto-looping direction.

Click on the settings wheel to set the preferred size and frame rate per second (fps).

Click on “Make GIF” and in less than a minute, your GIF is created. You can send it to your friends or colleagues via e-mail.

If you still cannot connect, then most likely your WiFi router blocks traffic from Air Keyboard.
In this situation, you can try to connect using 'Personal Hotspot', so your router is not used.
There is another way if you have required skills: you could try to configure your router so it allows TCP/UDP connection on local network on ports 55535 and 55534.
If you still cannot connect, and you bought the app (for iPad), then we suggest to get money back via AppStore.

I do not have Wi-Fi. Is it possible to control my computer?

Yes, if you use Air Keyboard on iPhone or iPad with 3G support (SIM card with Internet is required).
You can do it using 'Personal Hotspot' feature, which allows to host Wi-Fi network on your iPhone/iPad, or allows to use Bluetooth connection to your computer.
To start 'Personal Hotspot', you have to have 'Cellular Data' turned on (make sure you'll not loose money when doing it), then open 'Personal Hotspot' window and turn it on.

On Mac, connect to the device via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth depending on what you have chosen on the 'Personal Hotspot' window.
