I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks. I spent literally weeks looking for a solution with all the features I required, and then even more weeks trying to find workarounds for the partial solutions I did find. I actually stumbled across ccrypt near the beginning of my search, but dismissed it since at the time I had no idea what cygwin was.
Well, since then, many of my "work arounds" involved cygwin... to make a long story short... I now have cygwin installed and a full linux server that I'm playing with too. I can't believe it took me so long to give linux a try!
So now I restumbled onto ccrypt again... and simply stared at the screen with my mouth open looking dumbfounded.
- strong encryption
- recursive feature
- keeps original file's timestamp
- command line operation
That's all I needed, and I couldn't find it anywhere! Until now. And from a fellow Canadian to boot! And WOW! ccrypt is fast!!
I actually did find another product that seemed like it might do the job, called BlackBox 3.3 form Interscope. It was commercialware, which is fine, but their 30 day evaluation expired inexplicably after about 5 minutes and they haven't returned my emails in over 2 weeks. So I have no idea if it would have really worked, but the features were all listed.
So Thanks again.

Also thanks for this from me, esp. also for the quick response time re. the "temp" feature request. Thank you!
