RE: losing meaningful whitespaces in an encrypted file

I'm pretty sure it's the correct command line. I asked them twice, and they sent me a line of copy and paste straight out of the UC4 job. I had it in my head that the -f indicated the filename, but now that I look, I'm not sure where I read that. I'm checking with our Production Control guys now

Possible to pass the private key?

Hello all, I have a couple of questions about how to handle the private key on a server. The company I'm working with , is working with a consultant who said the following: "GNUPG has a keyring just like PGP. The private keys on that keyring need to be controlled and not just left in the keyring

Dealing with remaining plain text files

Hello, I am new to gpg, and while I feel the following questions may be common, I have not been able to find an answer to it on the web. When you encrypt test.txt with gpg, you get a file names test.txt.gpg. However, test.txt still remains on your hard disk. What is the best way to delete this fi

RE: losing meaningful whitespaces in an encrypted file

Thanks for your quick replies. I actually drafted that message last week but just managed to get it to go through today, so I do have some more information. I've gotten someone over here to help me a bit, and we've run some tests. Our file is being encrypted with gpg version 1.2.6 We had them

Re: losing meaningful whitespaces in an encrypted file

Again, this is not a bug, but a documented part of the protocol. There are ways around it, and the details on this will be changing in the future, but at least for today, if you send files as text, you will lose end-of-line whitespace. David On Thu, Sep 06, 2007 at 10:52:18AM -0400, Paladino, Van

personal-*-preferences

Hi I'm playing around with the ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file. For example I've set "personal-cipher-preferences S9 S8 S7 S10 S4 S3 S2" (I also tried delimiting them with commas). I have made sure that those ciphers are supported in my GnuPG version (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) by looking at "gpg --version". B

Error using wildcards in gnupg

Hi, I am using gnupg version 1.2.1 . I am able to decrypt files in a folder if I specify the file name in the command for eg: gpg -o c:\decryption\spacs.txt --decrypt "c:\decryption\wild card\today.txt.pgp" but if I use gpg -o c:\decryption\spacs.txt --decrypt "c:\decryption\wild card\*.pgp" I ge

Queries...

Hi, I am Atul, I have some queries regarding the gpg encryption algoritm. These are as follows: 1. How to use RSA only for encryption? 2. Is 'expert' command recommended to switch the encryption algorithm from ElGamal to RSA? If not how it is possible? Thanks, Atul. _
