The Encrypt_Files command is used to create compressed, encrypted archive_files that can be safely moved on any public medium. The encryption is based on the same key technology already implemented in Beyond FTP.   These archives may then be decrypted with either Beyond FTP scripts or Beyond Encryption.

The Using_Key parameter is not required if the archive already exists.  However, if you provide a different key than the one originally used to encrypt the file, the new key will override the previous encryption.

Warning: Do not use a key that is also being used for Beyond FTP server communications!  These keys may be updated and changed in ways you do not expect.  ALWAYS USE A KEY WITH A KNOWN PASS PHRASE!  This will prevent key retirement or secondary key demotion from making your archive inaccessible!  Be sure to save your pass phrases as you generate new key values!
