encfs

Mount or create encrypted virtual filesystems. See also: fusermount which can unmount filesystems mounted by this command. More information: https://manned.org/encfs.

• Initialize or mount an encrypted filesystem:

encfs /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}

• Initialize an encrypted filesystem with standard settings:

encfs --standard /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}

• Run encfs in the foreground instead of spawning a daemon:

encfs -f /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}

• Mount an encrypted snapshot of a plain directory:

encfs --reverse {{path/to/plain_directory}} {{path/to/cipher_directory}}
