  • 1.  Best Methods to Script PGP CL and schedule automatic Runs

    Posted Sep 14, 2011 03:36 PM

    Good day everyone.  I have the script ready for what I am looking to do, which is:

    1. File is dropped into location

    2. PGPCL runs on schedule looking for new file

    3. PGPCL pickups file, encrypts, moves to encrypted folder and deletes original file

    Now what I am researching is what is the best way to have PGPCL script run on a schedule? Do I just use Windows Server Task Scheduler?  Also what is the best language to script this in? Will a Basic batch file work? 

    From all my readings, PGPCL cannot FTP to a site. Any recommended software that can schedule the FTP transfer?  Thanks again for all your help.

    Hector

    We use a product called GECS by Vinzant for batch scheduling. Much more flexible than Windows Task Scheduler. For FTP automation I use CuteFTP and VBScript.

    There are third-party solutions (see, for example, http://www.cryptosoft.com/) that provide workflow around PGP Command Line.

    I'm trying to do the same thing. Did you write the script your self? Do you think I can maybe see the script or get a copy of it? It would save so much time.

    Can you share the script with us.
