Xecrets File Command Line

Powerful Cryptographic Command Line Toolbox

Xecrets File Command Line [Beta] is a powerful cryptographic toolbox available for Windows, macOS and Linux. File encryption is compatible with AxCrypt[2], in fact it is based on the exact same code, but does not have a graphical user interface as it's been re-engineered into a pure command line utility. For developers and devops it's a perfect complement to Xecrets File Ez [Beta] and AxCrypt[2]. Use cases include automated secure backups to the cloud without the risk of exposing passwords on the server, secure computer to computer file transfer, encrypted file distribution to users who opens the files using the simple desktop app and so much more!
