Hello All,

I'm currently working on a project which requires me to encrypt multiple text files at one go.

I am able to retrieve the name of the files through listfiles() but how am i supposed to pass those files to File variable so that the encrypt method can encrypt those files.

                {

                    System.out.println("Unable to Encrypt Files");

                }

            }

    }

}

What i am trying to achieve is that the jar file generated from this project should get the current directory which it is able to get, then list all the files in the directory and then encrypt them one by one.

Will appreciate all the help possible.

You need an encrypt method that takes a list or array of files argument so it can encrypt each and put the output into the output file.

Thank you for your assistance.

Managed on how to to do it.
