File Lock PEA version 1.6 (PEA version 2) 2025

Start the PEA:
Windows: just double click the file "file-lock-pea.jar",
if this does not work, try the helper file with extension ".bat",
Linux, BSD or MacOS: try to double click the helper file with extension ".sh" 
(make it executable).
You can always use the terminal/console: change into the directory of the PEA and type:
java -jar file-lock-pea.jar

Use the PEA:
Menu: Create a new file, type and retype the password and choose a file.
You can then load any file to be encrypted. 
Note: The files themselves are encrypted. If an encrypted copy is to be created, 
the file must be copied manually beforehand. 
You will be asked to remember the file after closing. If you agree, 
the file will be shown the next time, you open the PEA. Otherwise you have to 
open it manually in the FILE menu. 
You can store your file in the cloud and load it when you open the PEA
in the FILE menu. Keep in mind, that the content is always encrypted, 
but at least the cloud provider gets a lot of meta data (e.g. file names...).
