You can??™t specify a filename as part of the directory argument.
filename
Defines a filename without a file extension. You can??™t include a drive or path as part
of the filename. The filename can??™t contain wildcard characters.
efsfile
Defines an Encrypting File System (EFS) path that can include a drive, path, and filename.
/A
Performs tasks on files as well as directories. The file and its associated parent directory
receive any changes you make to the file alone. The reason you want to change the parent directory
is that an encrypted file can become decrypted when you modify it in a directory that you
haven??™t encrypted. Microsoft recommends that you encrypt both the file and its parent directory.
You also use this command line switch to encrypt just the file. For example, if you want to
encrypt a file named
NewFile.TXT
, you??™d type
Cipher /A /E /F NewFile.TXT
at the command
prompt and press Enter.
/ADDUSER
Adds a user as someone who can access an encrypted file. You must provide a credential
for the user to use when accessing the file. Cipher makes it possible to use a certificate
hash or a certificate file. When using a certificate file, Cipher accesses the certificate hash in the
file and records it.
