Hi Gus. Using symmetrical encryption I do just that on Linux, without the GUI?
With a small bash script, you could filter out just the entry you want too. I currently do it with Python and their encryption, but want it for my windows box and Linux, hence gpg. e.g. unlock is source lockp.sh # parameters #usage="Usage $0 # creates $plnfile.txt" if [[ ! -f ${target}/${encfile} ]] then echo Unable to find $1 exit 2 fi # File $1 exists, has .gpg extension, create .txt echo "Decrypt CAST5 encrypted file $1" echo gpg --output ${target}/${plnfile} --decrypt ${target}/${encfile} gpg --output ${target}/${plnfile} --decrypt ${target}/${encfile} ckexit gpg echo "Created ${target}/${plnfile}" more ${target}/${plnfile} with params shared (encrypt / decrypt) as # params for lock.sh and unlock.sh source ~/bin/dpFunctions.sh target=/apps/Dropbox/fp plnfile=test.txt encfile=test.gpg nb dpfunctions are pure bash. Let me know if you want more. HTH On 19 December 2014 at 22:20, Gus Zernial <gus_zern...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I'm a home user of Linux.
