Output Password Protected File

Hi,

 

I am having trouble creating a workflow which will take 10 csv files from one location (all with different names and containing completely different data), password protect the files (all with the same password), and then save them all to a new location (all in the same location). This workflow will need to be able to work on server. 

 

I have no problem with reading in the files and outputting them all to a new location, it is just the password protecting part I am struggling with. I cannot get any of the r or python solutions I have found online to work (I have no knowledge of either languages so cannot fix the errors I get).

 

If anyone can help that would be great thank you!

@JessL24301CSV files do not support built-in password protection like Excel (.xlsx) files. If you are saving the output files as .xlsx then you can password protect.
