Besides of the commands listed in this article, there are three other options:

 

1. BestCrypt allows to mount container and enter password in the command-line prompt, but the function is not documented. We do not  recommend to enter password in such a way, because we believe that in  many cases it may become a security leak. If you believe that your way of using the feature won't cause security  problems, you can enter password in the following way: 

 

>BestCrypt.exe Open C:\container.jbc X: -p:=password=-p



2. Mount from remote key block file (.kbb).

 

BestCrypt.exe open <ContainerName> [mountpoint] [-KB <keyblockfilename>]

Example:

> BestCrypt.exe open C:\folder\container/jbc G: -KB C:\folder\keyfile.kbb

 




 3. Mount a container encrypted with password and a key file. Use -KF flag to specify the key file name (with full path):


BestCrypt.exe open <ContainerName> [mountpoint] [-KF <keyfilename>]

Example:

> BestCrypt.exe open C:\folder\container/jbc G: -KF C:\folder\keyfile.jpg

 


These  options can be used together.

Sample of the whole command line:

 

>BestCrypt.exe open  C:\container\testContainer.jbc E: -KB G:\keyblock\testContainer.kbb   -p:=123456789=-p
