Title: mcrypt file encryption
Post by: ATM Logic on July 12, 2004, 09:29:30 PM

Can anyone help me to install mcrypt.  Rpm's lead to Failed Depends, ./make configure fails...

Either that, or a simple way to encrypt a tar file.

e.g.  I have a tar (backup) file on a remote system and want to move it from that system to mine via ssh and save it (offsite backup) to protect the client, I want to have the files encrypted before they are sent to me.

So, simply put, I want something to encrypt a tar file... so far the only way i can do it is to copy the file to a Micro$oft box, encrypt with one of the 1000 freebee tools, and then move it back...

From my tiny bit of reading, crypt is kinda old for this sort of thing...

gpg is the GNU version of PGP and is installed with SME.  http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/ will give you more info.
