Hello,
I'd really appreciate if someone can provide feedback with a decryption-related error we're getting. For an encrypted file of size approx. 2 - 4 gigs, encrypted by a user using the same key that is being used for decrypting it, there are errors, as listed below - however there are no errors on decrypting a smaller file of size less than 1 gig - sd...@gl5705rk02 [/work/ew11/IS/Data/CreditArchives/mainframe/gpgtest/test] $ --> gpg --output r02_allvar_il --decrypt r02_allvar_il.pgp gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "sdutt <sd...@allstate.com>" 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID CAB7C3F4, created 2009-08-11 (main key ID D36BE972) gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID CAB7C3F4, created 2009-08-11 "sdutt <sd...@allstate.com>" gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=41) gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=20) gpg: mdc_packet with invalid encoding gpg: decryption failed: invalid packet gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=41) sd...@gl5705rk02 [/work/ew11/IS/Data/CreditArchives/mainframe/gpgtest/test] $ --> ________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ Not sure if there are restrictions on size of a file that can be encrypted or decrypted, or if there are separate options that need to be used for large files. The file encrypted by us with the key of a user, is sent by remote ftp to that user, who after decrypting it, and a few necessary modifications to the data in the file, encrypts it using our key, which then is received by us by remote ftp - this process, with the same keys, works without any issues for smaller files less than a gig. We are using the latest version of GPG on a UNIX Solaris server. Your help on this will be appreciated. Thanks, Sudip
