Is there a way to compress using AES on the command line, currently the default is ZipCrypto. I can do it using the UI but this is not feasible for us.

use the switch:

-mem=aes

-mem means: (m : method) + (em : encryption method)

Thank you so much :). I don't see it listed in the command line, is there any documentation for this?

The command line does not accept the key. Can you tell me how to use it?

  7z a -pPSW 1.7z c:\file 7z a -p 2.7z c:\file
  
  -mem=aes is for zip archives only.
  and 7-Zip for 7z archives always uses AES, so -mem=aes is not supported.
