# encfs
> Mount or create encrypted virtual filesystems.
> See also: `fusermount`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/encfs>.
- Initialize or mount an encrypted filesystem:
`encfs /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}`
- Initialize an encrypted filesystem with standard settings:
`encfs --standard /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}`
- Run encfs in the foreground instead of spawning a daemon:
`encfs -f /{{path/to/cipher_directory}} /{{path/to/mount_point}}`
- Mount an encrypted snapshot of a plain directory:
`encfs --reverse {{path/to/plain_directory}} {{path/to/cipher_directory}}`
