Im trying to use the zip utility command that is built in using the terminal.

I tried using the zip -er folder.zip command to encrypt the zip folder and it’s files inside. But how can I add the encryption method such as AES128 or AES256?

Can anyone please post an example for this?

The command line zip binary uses PKZIP, which is insecure. You cannot specify an alternate encryption method.
