Using CLI to encrypt and decrypt files

Prerequisite:

• Install and onboard Atakama.
• Create a Secure Folder. 

Encryption

Steps:

1. Add files and folders to the backend folder that you created as your Secure Folder (e.g., H:\New Folder).
2. Open the Command Prompt, type atakama file protect --recursive "H:\New Folder" (always use quotes around file paths that contain a space), and press enter.
3. Open the Atakama Vault or the backend of your Secure Folder. All the files within that location should be encrypted and display a lock icon.

Decryption

1. Open Command Prompt and navigate to the folder, type in atakama file unprotect --recursive "H:\New Folder" (always use quotes around file paths that contain a space), and press enter.
2. A MofNop request is sent to the mobile device for every file that will be decrypted.
