I'm not sure I know what I m doing but I opened a terminal and copied this:
encfs /home/user/.encrypted_encfs/ /home/user/encrypted/

Then I got this message:

The directory encfs /home/user/.encrypted_encfs/ /home/user/encrypted/ doesn t exist. Should it be created?

I typed in "y" for yes. Then came a super long piece of text offering different options:

Common Options:
  -H show optional FUSE Mount Options
  -s disable multithreaded operation
  -f run in foreground (don't spawn daemon).
   Error messages will be sent to stderr
   instead of syslog.
  -v, --verbose verbose: output encfs debug messages
  -i, --idle=MINUTES Auto unmount after period of inactivity
  --anykey Do not verify correct key is being used
  --forcedecode decode data even if an error is detected
   (for filesystems using MAC block headers)
  --public act as a typical multi-user filesystem
   (encfs must be run as root)
  --reverse reverse encryption
  --extpass=program Use external program for password prompt

Example, to mount at ~/crypt with raw storage in ~/.crypt :
    encfs ~/.crypt ~/crypt

For more information, see the man page encfs(1)

What would be my next step?
