Public bug reported:
I found an unexpected behavior while experimenting with the export
command in encfsctl.
My encrypted directory is called BBB: it contains several files
pict*.jpg and a subdirectory 'yy'
$ encfsctl export BBB EEE
EncFS Password:
The directory "EEE" does not exist. Should it be created? (y,n) y
$ ls -l
total 96376
drwxr-xr-x 3 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:25 BBB/
drwx------ 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:41 EEE/
-rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2041364 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEpict0006.jpg*
-rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2010187 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEpict0007.jpg*
...
drwxr-xr-x 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:41 EEEyy/
$ ls -l EEE
total 0
There is obviously a bug in the generation of the output paths.
The files themselves are fine.
The obvious workaround is to specify an export directory ending with /:
$ encfsctl export BBB EEE/
EncFS Password:
$ ls -l EEE
total 96356
-rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2041364 2008-01-21 21:54 pict0006.jpg
-rwx------ 1 chauveau users 2010187 2008-01-21 21:54 pict0007.jpg
...
drwxr-xr-x 2 chauveau users 4096 2008-01-21 21:51 yy
