**WARNING**: Version changes in openssl may not be compatible# Data may not be recoverable without the identical version of openssl!

Add this to the bottom of `~/.profile`:

    # Usage: $ encryptfile file > file.enc 
    function encryptfile {
            openssl aes-256-cbc -a -in $1
    }
    # Usage: $ decryptfile file.enc > file 
    function decryptfile {
            openssl aes-256-cbc -d -a -in $1
    }
    function encryptfile-ssh {
            echo "Usage: $ encryptfile-ssh folder/ username@example.com"
            echo "Type ctrl+c to abort, enter to continue"
            read $cancel
            tar -cvzf - $1 | openssl aes-256-cbc | ssh $2 "cat > file.enc"
    }
    function decryptfile-ssh {
            echo "Usage: $ decryptfile-ssh username@example.com file"
            echo "Type ctrl+c to abort, enter to continue"
            read $cancel
            ssh $1 "cat $2" | openssl aes-256-cbc -d | tar -xvzf -
    }


Source the file:

    $ . ~/.profile


Encrypt and decrypt:

    $ encryptfile file.tgz > file.tgz.enc
    $ decryptfile file.tgz.enc > file.tgz
    $ encryptfile-ssh folder/ username@example.com
    $ decryptfile-ssh username@example.com file.enc
