Windows utility for mounting and unmounting encrypted shares on a Synology NAS. Can be run by backup software in pre/post commands to mount/dismount backup destination. Enters key in a way so that it will not be saved in the shell history of the NAS. Checks SSH fingerprint of NAS before authenticating and supplying decryption key.
Requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later compatible
Tested with a Synology DS118 NAS (DSM 6.2.1).
