The primary reason why I started working on Crypt was exactly what u have said - a command line encryption program which would recurse subdirectories, and I was not able to find such a program.
If the beta version 0.2.4 doesnt works for u, then you could try 0.2.2 - it doesnt have that bug of appending some extra bytes at the end of the file. But then it does not modifies the original files in anyway and they are left as such (alongwith the encrypted files with .cpt extension). And each time u run the program it would add a .cpt extension in the file name.
To encrypt: crypt -e -p password test.txt
(will encrypt test.txt and save as text.txt.cpt)
To Decrypt: crypt -d -p password test.txt.cpt
(will now decrypt test.txt.cpt and save as text.txt.cpt.cpt - u will have to rename it back to test.txt manually)
As for the progress of work on crypt, I did have to pull back for sometime because of other committments at my workplace. But soon I would be releasing the stable version of it.

I have been looking for something for my thumb drive. I didn't want anything that would have to be installed, just bloody encrypt files. And un-encrypt them. I carry stuff back and forth from work that I dont want others seeing. My thumb drive has become my portable drive. If I am going to encrypt something, thats where I wanted it encrypted. And I want to be able to unencrypt it where ever I go, with out having to install software.
I think this is the ticket. Thank you. I've been looking now for a couple months for something like this.

Are you still working on crypt?? I see there hasn't been a lot of activity on SourceForge for this program.
Once it works (beta failed for me), this sounds like exactly what I need! I need a command line encryption tool that can recurse subdirectories.
If you are NOT still working on this project, but know of a program that does what I need, please let me know.

great tool :)
but did the bug related in "bugs" fixed ?
