Hello,
You must have read the old documentation (or we’ve made a mistake in the new). AxCrypt 2 does not support self-decrypting files at this time.
However – if you encrypt the file, key share it with the recipient with the Key Sharing feature you can send the encrypted file along with a link to https://account.axcrypt.net/Download/AxCrypt-2.exe or download the program itself and attach it to whatever you send to the recipient.
That’s essentially what ‘self-decrypting’ archives are, except that we then append the encrypted file to the stand-alone. We don’t support that just yet, because there are simply so many things that are bad with the concept.
Oh, I just wrote blog post expanding on this subject, see http://www.axcrypt.net/blog/avoid-self-decrypting-files/ .
