We routinely use gnupg for encryption of outgoing files and I'm comfortable with my scripts which do the encryption and ftp.
I'm now working with an external customer who has never in his life used pgp, gnupg, etc. Since I've only encrypted and never decrypted a file, I'm also unable to answer his questions to one he considers to be a 'guru' on this stuff

How close am I on this???
Tnx in advance as always.
