PGP Encrypt File
The PGP Encrypt File object encrypts
a file or an entire folder tree using a PGP key file that you have
created. When encrypting an entire folder, the folder tree is
preserved from the root folder down. For example, if you encrypt
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\*.* and all
sub-folders, all files below My Documents are encrypted as well as
all files within folders under My Documents. All files that are in
sub-folders will be in the same sub-folder in the Output folder.
Note: To use this object you must
install GPG.exe. For more information see the Opalis Integration
Server Administrator’s Guide.
Note: This object supports DSS and RSA4
keys. RSA keys are not supported by this object.
How it is used
