Your requirement that encryption be easy but decryption require a key
implies public key cryptography. I don't think gpg will be that much
harder to set up than the alternatives.

The thing that made me suggest rsyncrypto was that it has built-in
recursive directory and file list modes.

I meant the "openssl" command line tool, not the library. RTFM
openssl(1), and then RSA(1) and aes(1). Then rtfm rsyncrypto for how to
generate openssl RSA keys....

On second thought, maybe openssl is too much bother for what you are
trying to do.
