HOW DO I ENCRYPT FOLDERS/FILES ON LINUX PEPPERMINT PLEASE!

Hey guys, I need to know how to encrypt files/folders on my netbook (it’s for an online computer course I’m doing). I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to do this. Thanks!

p.s I have a little Dell netbook running on Peppermint 9.

Have a look through here for some clues

I personally use ccrypt as it is quite simple and straight forward as long as you are happy using basic terminal commands.

Thank you Gaz. I had already seen that page but I don’t understand terminal controls, so would have no idea what I’m doing. Never mind, I will just have to blag that question with something about my Chromebook. Has to be submitted Monday.
