If you have been using another PGP application, you have already established a keyring.

You can use these keys in MOVEit Automation by exporting them from the other PGP application and then importing them into MOVEit Automation . Exporting the keys does not remove them from the original application. You can continue to use them with the old application.

This topic includes instructions for:

  • Exporting from GNU Privacy Guard
  • Exporting from PGP™ Command Line from Symantec®

Exporting from GNU Privacy Guard

To export a single public key from GnuPG, use a command line like:

gpg -a --export "Fred Smith" >fredsmith-public-key.asc

To export all public keys from GnuPG, use a command line like:

gpg -a --export >all-public-keys.asc

To export a single private key from GnuPG, use a command line like:

gpg -a --export-secret-keys "Fred Smith" >fredsmith-private-key.asc

To export all private keys from GnuPG, use a command line like:

gpg -a --export-secret-keys >all-private-keys.asc

Note: unlike some other applications, GnuPG does not export the public key when it exports the private key. To export both the private key and the public key for a user, use a sequence like:

gpg -a --export "Fred Smith" >fredsmith-both.asc gpg -a --export-secret-keys "Fred Smith" >>fredsmith-both.asc

  
Exporting from PGP® Command LIne from Symantec®

  
To export a single public key from PGP, use a command line like:

  
pgp --export "Mary Jones" --output maryjones-public-key.asc

  
To export a single public/private keypair from PGP, use a command line like:

  
pgp --export-key-pair "Mary Jones" --output maryjones-both.asc

  
There is not a single PGP Command Line command that will export all keys.
