encfs

Mounts or creates encrypted virtual filesystems.

See also `fusermount`, which can unmount filesystems mounted by this command.

• Initialize or mount an encrypted filesystem:

encfs {/path/to/cipher_dir} {/path/to/mount_point}

• Initialize an encrypted filesystem with standard settings:

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

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

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

• Mount an encrypted snapshot of a plain directory:

encfs --reverse {path/to/plain_dir} {path/to/cipher_dir}
