We have created the directory '''~/.secret''' that will contain the encrypted data and we have made it a hidden directory because we will never enter anything in it and the content will all be unreadable. | |||
The content of '''~/.secret''' will only be readable when mounted in the other directory we created: '''~/secret''' | |||
The only difference between the two is the "." | |||
'''~/secret''' will be the working directory where you put the files you want encrypted. | |||
To mount the directory we enter the command: | |||
encfs ~/.secret ~/secret | |||
You may call your directories something completely different than .secret and secret; it is up to you. Enter the password and start entering content into ~/secret. | |||
''We never enter data into ~/.secret - that is why we have hidden it with a "."'' | |||
To unmount ~/secret we enter the command: | |||
fusermount -u ~/secret | |||
If you check the content of ~/secret now; it will be completely empty. In order to see the content again you need to mount again with | |||
encfs ~/.secret ~/secret | |||
and enter the password. | |||
