How to Encrypt + Decrypt Text Files - UltraEdit (2024)

Multiple Files
You can manually type additional files for encryption by separating the name/path of the additional files with a semi-colon. You can also select multiple files by clicking on the Browse button (next to the File(s) to Encrypt field). Simply click on the browse button and select multiple files using the CTRL key or SHIFT key and mouse. With the files selected, click on the Open button, and the file names/paths will be passed back to the Encrypt File(s) dialog.

For the purposes of this power tip, we will only encrypt a single file – test_file.txt.

Passphrase
With the Encrypted files specified in the Files to Encrypt field, type the Passphrase in both the Passphrase field and the Confirm Passphrase field.

Note:You MUST memorize or make note of the typed encryption passphrase. The passphrase is not stored anywhere on the system or in the application files. If this passphrase is forgotten/lost the encrypted data will be permanently unrecoverable.
