Common Syntax

Common command-line syntax is described below:

CFFiles <command> <switch1> <switchN> <file_or_folder1> <file_or_folderN>

command:

A character specifying the task to be performed by CryptoForge (Encrypt, Decrypt, or Shred)

switch:

Switches used to specify options and to provide additional information.

file_or_folder:

The name(s) of file(s), folder(s), or drive(s) to be processed.

Remarks

For the command line to be recognized by CryptoForge, the first parameter must be a valid command.

The command character, every switch, and the file names must all be separated by at least one space.

Precede each option with a forward slash (/), for instance: CFFiles /e /efn /subf "C:\My Secret Docs"

Files or folders can be absolute, relative (to your working directory), and UNC paths.

Commands and switches are not case sensitive; you may write them both in upper and in lower case. The only exception is the password; if you specify a password using the /passw:<your_password> switch, then the password itself is case sensitive.

You must use double quotes to wrap file names containing spaces.
