WebDav client side encryption not working ?

Post by The_Q »

OK so I've got a webdav connection setup to my service provider (transip.nl ) and I've setup a backup task (2GB of sample data) with client side encryption enabled. (i've put a password on it)
I can run the backup task without any notification or issue (or then the backup completing successfully). But once i log into my cloudspace (stack) i can see my backup files unencrypted and i can access them as I normally would. So what am i missing here ? why aren't my files encrypted ???? is anybody having the same issue ? :?

OK so i can't close or delete the post, but i just figured out what's going on. I backup a simple text file and used a HEX editor to compare the contents of the files, and it turn out the file on the cloud space is encrypted but the software just does NOT encrypt the filenames - just the file itself. So I guess I learned something today. - if a moderator reads this post plz close the thread.
