Chapter 3. Manipulating Files, Folders, ... > Encrypting Files with cipher
Encrypting Files with cipher
You can encrypt files on NTFS using the cipher command. These files are encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS) feature of NTFS. The two primary switches you use are /e to encrypt files and /d to decrypt them. When files are encrypted, Windows Explorer displays them with green text.
Note
Files can be compressed or encrypted, however, they cannot be compressed and encrypted.
