Secure Delivery of Zip files

the main point I try to make is that people asking on forums just want a quick and dirty recipe for blind problem solving

I strongly believe that the main concern when replying to any question should be
on teaching people how to use the proper organization channels and apply the proper standards and practices

for example
what is the security level of the data being exchanged
who is responsible for the data
how are the passwords going to be exchanged
what is being done to secure the overall path of critical data

that' s why without knowing the whole shebang I advice against giving advice
the tools should have been already chosen and tested befor beyng deployed to the bottom of the chain
( if somebody is higher in the chain then he should not have the need to ask on a forum)
the command how to password protect a zip file should be the last concern

that' why I feel that security related issues should not be discussed on forums

giving a quick and dirty suggestion might agree with the spoon feeding approach , but in the long run will make people lose the organizational perspective

also one more note... people asking on the forums very seldom have the need to know
