Simple and de-facto way to encrypt files and directories in Linux

sapporo@sopuli.xyz to Programming@programming.dev – 22 points –

Namely, de-facto, or one of, in Linux. Mature. No GUI. Open-source and free.

What is it? GPG or anything else?

For a separate file(s), or directory(ies), and not for the entire disk or partition.

Describe your use case.

  1. backups, non-incremental ones
  2. prevent others from viewing information that may be sensitive
  3. encrypted files and directories will then be copied over to external drives and third-party servers
