I decided to make a batch file that encrypts files using OpenSSL's AES-256-CBC.
I made it so that the first argument is the file path to be encrypted.
The batch file then copies the file and encrypts it adding the extension `.encw to its name.
Here is the script:
echo off
set file=%1
echo s
echo %file%
echo e
if [%1]==[] (
echo Missing file parameter.
exit /B
)
if exist %file% (
echo %file%
for %%a in (%file%) do set "p_dir=%%~dpa"
for %%F in (%file%) do set "fname=%%~nxF"
echo %p_dir%
echo %fname%
set encfile="%p_dir%%fname%.enc"
echo openssl aes-256-cbc -a -salt -in %file% -out %encfile%
echo %encfile%
) else (
echo File does not exist.
)
pause
This works when you open a command prompt and enter the path of the batch file and the path of the file to be encrypted.
But when someone were to open that file with it (dragging a file onto the batch in File Explorer) the new .enc copy is not created because of some reason the parent file and the file name are blank
.
Why is this happening?
I made it so it would print the OpenSSL command instead of executing it to avoid issues.
