Happens that I am trying to get this done on windows have tested Vlad's suggestions, and it can be done the same way on windows by installing cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/ and entering Vlad's commands at the cygwin $ prompt caveats: [1] after installing cygwin, add a copy of gpg.exe into the folder C:\cygwin\bin [2] cygwin needs the 'slashes' for the path *reversed* (i.e) for purposes of illustration, let's say that the directory whose files you want to encrypt, is c:\et and the directory whose files you want to decrypt, is c:\dt and your encryption keyname is Boo and the passphrase is Foo, then Vlad's commands on cygwin in windows, would be: To encrypt: $ find c:/et -type f -execdir gpg -r Boo -e {} \; To decrypt: $ find c:/dt -type f -iname '*.gpg' -execdir gpg --passphrase Foo {} \; n.b. it *must* be c:/et and c:/dt NOT c:\et and c:\dt otherwise, cygwin will give the following error message: find: c:et: No such file or directory vedaal any ads or links below this message are added by hushmail without my endorsement or awareness of the nature of the link -- Planning for retirement?
