Installation & Setup

Install Rust & Cargo package manager

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Aavtic/FileCrypt.git

2. Build the executable using cargo build in the cloned directory

cargo build

Done! The executable will be in ./FileCrypt/target/debug/filecrypt

Usage

Run the executable in the directory you have the files to encrypt, so that you don't have to specify full filepath.

Encrypt files

1. On Linux

./filecrypt -e <file-to-encrypt> -k <key> -o <output-file>

2. On Windows

.\filecrypt -e <file-to-encrypt> -k <key> -o <output-file>

Decrypt files

1. On Linux

./filecrypt -d <file-to-decrypt> -k <key> -o <output-file>

2. On Windows

.\filecrypt -d <file-to-decrypt> -k <key> -o <output-file>

Optional Argument --no-backup

When you normally encrypt files using filecrypt, it stores a backup of the password in ./.filecrypt/.filecrypt.json file. It will store them in the directory that you run this software. So Its recommended to create a directory to encrypt files from it so all the passwords will be stored in ./.filecrypt/.filecrypt.json file in that directory.

If you wish to not save the password then you can use the --no-backup argument while encrypting the file.

./filecrypt -e <file-to-encrypt> -k <key> -o <output-file> --no-backup
