Guys, I have a project I'm working on that goes something like this:
I want to rsync my backups somewhere off-site before the next monster hurricane kills us all. I do this all the time at several locations in and around floody new Orleans, but I need something out-of-state. I'd like to use some-random-webhost-company.com for off-site storage, since they're cheap. The problem is, I don't want my data to be human-readable on their easily-cracked server. Here's my ideal solution: I can ssh to the web host's server, no problem. I can also mount the server's filesystem via some tool like fish. I want to be able to rsync my stuff over to their server, but I want the files I place there to be encrypted, let's say with GPG. I want some tool running on my desktop here at home to transparently encrypt the files as they are being placed on the remote server. I also want rsync to be able to look into the encrypted files and see only the unencrypted versions, so that rsync will work properly. In other words, I don't want rsync to know anything about the fact that those files are encrypted on the remote server.
