Endpoint Encryption

I have recieved a .pub file from the customer having his public key. Now i need to encrypt the files using this public key but for this i need to import this key into my PGP rings.

With a .asc file i can easily import the public key using the import command

pgp --import "filename.asc"

but when i try to import the .pub file using the same way it throws me error.

I also tried changing the extension from .pub to .asc the key was imported but i cant encrypt the files using that key.

Can anyone of you help me in this what is the correct way to import .pub file into PGP Command Line

Hi Surabh,

if you have got PGP Desktop/Symntec Encryption desktop installed steps are as follow:

1.Click on *.pub file and will import it to PGP
2. Right click on the key and click on Export
3. Key will be saved as *.asc file
4. pgp --import "filename.asc"

Otherwise I would ask sender to send you a publick key in *.asc format.

 HTH
