Re: Overkill for many sites
Yes, that use case works well. My comment was about the uses from a browser as that's what changed and what some here dislike, and you can't do any of those checks from a browser. You could of course download the file with a browser and see whether encfs likes it, but I'm guessing you're using an automatic system which does it more efficiently and therefore don't rely on the browser for any FTP tasks.
