Can't mount decrypted folder

[BertaViader-zv]

Hey,

So, a worker have a problem with encfs. She has the encrypted folder .SCRIPTS, with all the files encrypted.
Every time she want to decrypt the folder, nothing happens.

But when I launch encfs with verbose, it says that the config files is there but failed to load:

encfs -vf ~/.SCRIPTS ~/SCRIPTS

2020-07-09 17:29:43,800 ERROR Found config file /home/lalonso/.SCRIPTS/.encfs6.xml, but failed to load - exiting [FileUtils.cpp:220]

The file config file is there:
ls -latr .SCRIPTS/
total 36

-rw-r--r-- 1 lalonso lalonso 0 jun 20 12:23 .encfs6.xml

But it's seems empty or encrypted. Can you help us?
Also the version of encfs is 1.9.2 and the machine is Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Thank you so much,
Berta

Well, the zero in the line

-rw-r--r-- 1 lalonso lalonso 0 jun 20 12:23 .encfs6.xml

indicates that the file is empty.

Okay, and there is something we can do? Create another config file?
I don't really know how the config file is empty :/

You can't, as it contains your randomly-generated encryption key.

Okay, thank you!
I will close the issue
