Does anyone know of a PGP encryption plug-in for Filemaker Pro?
Or has anyone used GnuPG in conjuction with Filemaker Pro.

What we are trying to do:
We have a project underway, that requires the posting of an PGP encrypted FMPro export file to an ftp area, for the client to collect on a daily basis.

The environment:
Mac G5 XServe, running Mac OS X Server 10.3.5

We have a Filemaker database, that runs a script at 2.00am in the morning, whose end result is an export of records in a tab delimited text file. This file then has to be PGP encrypted before the client's system picks up this file, again overnight.

As the whole process is run unattended, we need to develop a way of setting up the whole process to run automatically at predefined times. We are using an FMPro plug-in called 'Events' to trigger the running of the relevant scripts at the appropriate time.

Thanks for any help that can be provided
 
Don't know about a plug-in but months ago I had to use PGP version 6.5.2 (command line version). There seems to be a file size limitation as to what the max size can be to encrypt a file.
When attempting to encrypt a 5GB plus file, it finished without error, however my client was unable to decrypt. When sending a smaller file he was able to decrypt fine.
