If you want to encrypt one directory only, then you may want to take a look at encfs. (apt-cache show encfs). $ mkdir /path/to/encrypted/dir $ mkdir /path/to/clear/dir $ encfs /path/to/encrypted/dir /path/to/clear/dir (Now the encrypted dir is set up) $ cp myfile /path/to/encrypted/dir $ cd /path/to/encrypted/dir $ (edit myfile) $ fusermount -u /path/to/clear/dir And you'll see encypted files in /path/to/encrypted/dir; nothing on /path/to/clear/dir, since it was unmounted.
