# Using gpg this way does not use a public/private key, just a password. 
# This allows us to transfer files around computers and not worry about gpg keys.

# Install gpg
# Save in /usr/local/bin/ and `chmod +x` it.

# To Encrypt: 
# 
# foldEnc.sh -e folder_name   (no /)
# (Asks for pw)
# => folder_name.tbz

# To Decrypt: 
#
# foldEnc.sh -d folder_name   (no extension)
# (Asks for pw)
# => folder_name
