Howto install EncFS for Macfuse on MacOSX =========================================
Since I had lots of problems to compile EncFS on my Macbook and even after some hints, different approaches it didn't worked - I finally found a way to install EncFS on Mac OS X (mostly because of the help of Corsec - Thanks!) I hope this step-by-step manual is good enough to save some of you the time, I needed in order to figure out how to setup EncFS. Let's go: 1. Download & Install MacFuse http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list 2. Download & Install MacFusion http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/08/mgorbach/MacFusionWeb/ 3. Usefull bit not needed for EncFS: Download & Install sshfs http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list 4. Download and Install encfs.plugin a) Download encfs.plugin from http://dev.systemred.net/trac/encfs/wiki/Install b) Copy EncFS.plugin to ~/Library/Application Support/MacFusion/ PlugIns (creating the folders as needed) Since this doesn't worked = the EncFS.Plugin didn't showed up in MacFusion, I've copied the EncFS-Plugin also to EncFS.plugin to /Applications/MacFusion.app/Contents/Plugins/ c) Open the Plugin-Package (directory: Ressources) and copy encfs & encfsctl to /usr/local/bin d) from the Plugin-Package (directory: Ressources) copy the three *.dylib-files (librlog.1.3.4.dylib, libencfs.1.1.1.dylib, libintl.8.0.1.dylib) to / usr/local/lib 5. Create your encrypted directories a) Open Terminal Assuming that you want to have a directory named kurt in your home directory containing the encrypted files (crypt-raw) and the directory crypt that contains the unencrypted data when encfs has mounted the encrypted directory, you do: b) Creating the directories mkdir /Users/kurt/crypt-raw mkdir /Users/kurt/crypt c) Initialize EncFS with encfs /Users/kurt/crypt-raw /Users/kurt/crypt 5) Copy the data you want to secure to the Volume that has mounted on your Desktop or to /Users/kurt/crypt 6) Unmount the Volume via Finder or MacFusion 7) To launch the encrypted each time when you're booting a) open MacFusion and enable 'Start MacFusion on Login' b) Open the Favorites Menu within MacFuse, choose '+' 'EncFS' and enter the path to the crypt-raw directory in the field Storage path. If you want you can also enter a Name for the Volume when it's mounted. Make sure to enable the 'Auto'-Checkbox !!! Make sure to always enter full path, not ~/crypt-raw but /Users/ kurt/crypt-raw. In Mac OS X ~/ is equal to your Home-directory, that is /Users/YOUR- USER-NAME-HERE. If you don't know what your full path to your Home-directory is, open a Terminal and enter: cd pwd Was this howto usefull for you? If you've any additions or questions do not hesitate to contact me :-) Thanks to Project members from MacFuse and to Michael Gorbach for MacFusion, Great work! - Kurt More Information ================ + MacFuse: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ + MacFusion: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/08/mgorbach/MacFusionWeb/ + EncFS.Plugin: http://dev.systemred.net/trac/encfs + FUSE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace + EncFS: http://encfs.sourceforge.net/ http://arg0.net/wiki/encfs/intro2 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "macfuse-devel" group.
