Command line encryption tool for both Linux and Windoze?

[Søren Neigaard]

I could use a small simple command line tool to encrypt/decrypt the
files on my USB pendrive, and it could be cool if it was small enough to
be on my pendrive also. And it has to work in both Linux and Windows
(probably to versions of same tool, or two tools that can
encrypt/decrypt the same files).

Does any of you guys know of such a tool, or have any ideas oh how to do
this?

Best regards
Søren

Go check out gpg.  I believe they have versions for both linux and
windows (I know they have it for linux).

I use burp

It does all you need and, I suspect, more.

How secure do you need it to be? If the answer is "not very", you can use
'zip'.

GPG  has both UNIX/Linux and windows versions.  
http://www.gnupg.org
PGP also has some free versions, not sure if there is a free one for UNIX/Linux.

No one mentioned Cygwin tools.

The Cygwin package provides a long list of Unix commands that run on
WinowZ.  It may be the best way to have a 1:1 mapping of equivalent
tools.

http://www.cygwin.com/

Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:

# A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer
       providing substantial Linux API functionality.

# A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

http://cygwin.com/packages/
    ....
      	crypt	Encryption/Decryption utility and library
    libmcrypt	an encryption library (runtime environment)
    libmcrypt-devel	an encryption library (development environment)
    ....
