encfs

Mounts or creates encrypted virtual filesystems. See also fusermount, which can unmount filesystems mounted by this command. More information: https://github.com/vgough/encfs.
  • 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}}
