Yes I can delete and start all over again which I have tried several times to certify I know the password, each time I get the error 'the stash (folder?) could not be mounted, invalid password'. Any suggestions to make some progress would be welcome. Problem accessing Crypt folder Ubuntu Unity 11.10

I work in a foreign government's ministry and need to keep some things confidential, so just the ticket. However, I am having trouble across Linux distributions. I created a CryptKeeper folder in one (Xubuntu) but can't access it in another (Linux Mint). I couldn't find any help on the subject of cross distribution usage, so tried the "Import EncFS folder" option. During the import process it could certainly see the existing folder (hidden in my documents, a directory/data partition shared by all distributions), but then when I try to mount it from the tray applet, after entering my password, a window saying "Creating new encrypted volume" appears but nothing happens after that. The folder is still invisible in Thunar (I have changed the preferred file browser) and not listed as mounted in the applet right click menu. By the way, how good is the encryption? Thanks!

What his script will do is unmount the encrypted folder when you log out of your computer. My computer tends to stay on most of the time and 99 times out of 100 that I'm logging out I'm also shutting down, so it's a non-issue for me. When you start the computer again it shouldn't be mounted by default. I haven't tried it, but I don't see a reason that it should happen. It sounds like you may be looking for a solution to encrypt single files rather than a folder of files. I don't know of a program that does that. Not to say that it doesn't exist, I just haven't gone looking for it. I haven't bothered trying Axel's recommendation.

This is December and I've installed Cryptkeeper (it works great) and wish that it didn't require the extra step after closing the encrypted file of unclicking the file in the Key. Is that what Axel's thing does. I don't know enough to put his suggestions into the program myself. Frank Linerd, have you done what Axel recommends.

Let me know if something looks incorrect. Thanks for the tips. I'll have to give it a try when I get home. Ok, I think I got everything formatted and corrected.
