EncFS Password: #enter password
#Decrypts the folder. Yes, the encrypted files are now available in file 'Docs-crypt'
cushie@Netbook-Precise:~$ fusermount -u ~/Docs-crypt
#this removes files in the unencrypted folder 'Docs-crypt' (and may be deleted)
Having sorted this and got it working I went back to Cryptkeeper which made the folders in the first instance and it would not recognise or import the _encfs file as an encrypted file.
If Cryptkeeper can not mount its own folders is there a simple way of having the encrypted folder mounted at boot time or is that not adviseable?
Maybe try to rename the folder that holds the encrypted files to something like Docs-Encrypted and see if you can import it then.
Also are you trying to import the folder or the .encfs6.xml file? When you are chosing a file to import try to push Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
If that doesn't work you could make a script that will allow you to quickly mount the folder through a terminal...
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
cat << _END > ~/bin/mountDocs
encfs ~/StashFolder ~/mountPoint
_END
nano ~/bin/mountDocs
If you do this, the next time you log in you can open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T Ubuntu default) and type in mountDocs then hit enter. It will then ask you for your password.
