OSX Tools: TrueCrypt

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:14:57 +0000

OSX Users have enjoyed FileValult for quite a long time. It’s Apple’s standard tool to encrypt a whole volume. And it’s pretty hard to crack!.

But it has few weak points. You cannot encrypt a folder, or a single file. And once you’re logged into your mac, you’ve got access to all the files and folders stored within your user. Maybe you share the user with someone else. Or maybe you simply wanna backup encrypted data, and you think that PGP isn’t a good alternative.. or you just wanna try something new!.

I recently had to play with several FTP servers… and truth to be told, working command line can turn into a pain in the neck. You might miss a filename, or maybe you need to type really, relaly long paths. That’s why i began looking for a decent FTP client for OSX.

Well, it turns out, these guys wrote a pretty decent FTP client. And guess what! they offer it for free!.

OSX Terminal: Adding current folder to the title!

If you’re just like me, and have lots of Terminal tabs open, you probably end up typing ‘pwd’ all the time.

Luckily, there is an easy solution:

Create a file named ‘.profile’, in your user’s home.

Type the following string in there!:

export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;[${PWD/$HOME/~}]\007"'

That’s it!. You’re gonna have, from now on, the current working directory right there in the windows tab!.
