Encrypt folder and its contents before uploading to a webstore?

[candtalan]

I know that if I compress a folder with its contents I end up with a file, which I can then encrypt with (Nautilus, ubuntu 12.04), context menu 'Encrypt'. I then end up with a .tar.gz.pgp, which is good. However, I recall that somehow, a while ago, I saw a folder and its files contents all individualy encrypted, probably retaining their original filenames, and this was suitable for the whole set of stuff (as a folder??) to be copy/pasted somewhere (usb stick?) or uploaded to a webstore. Is this possible?

Is encfs good for this, or what? If the items in the folder and maybe the folder itself is encrypted, is it still possible to copy/paste it all to elsewhere?

Maybe you make a TrueCrypt file. It's a file, where you define the size, filename and encryption method by yourself.
Then you put your files inside the Truecrypt file when it is opened. Then you close the file and the whole thing is encryped and is
one file only. You open the Truecrypt file with your defined password.
