This site should give you all the information you need. The link was found at upubuntu.com. Here is a direct quote from the site:

"encrypt or decrypt your files using the Nautilus context menu (right-click menu) under Ubuntu"

1. Add a PGP key so that you can encrypt your files with it, by opening "Passwords and Keys", click the add button, select "PGP Key", then click Continue.
2. Add the seahorse-nautilus plugin with
   

   sudo apt-get install seahorse-nautilus && nautilus -q && nautilus

3. Right click to pick any file and then select Encrypt In a pop-up, pick your key, set "Sign message as: Your key" and click OK. Another pop-up asks for the passphrase which matches up w/ the PGP key.
