  • 1.  PGP Commandline File Signing

    Posted Sep 15, 2011 01:19 PM

    We are using PGP Commandline version 10.0 on a Windows system to sign a file that we send to a business partner. During the signing process and extra line is added to the top of the file. The line is not in the file before the signing process. This extra line is causing issues when our business partner attempts to pull it into their Unix based system. Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Can you please provide the exact invocation you are doing to sign the file?  (Of course you don't need to provide your actual passphrase or signing key ID.)

    What are the contents of the "extra line"?

    Is your file a text file, or biinary?  Have you tried using the "--text-mode" option?

    Thanks.

    I tried to use the switch and create the file however the file still has an extra line between the footer of the signature and the data in the file. I tried to sign an empty file and still the extra line exists between the header and the footer of the signature.

    I used both the syntax --text-mode and -t both creates an extra line.

    Below is the code that was used to sign a file.

    pgp --text-mode --clearsign <filename.csv> --signer "XXXXX" --passphrase XXXXXXXX --output <filename.csv>

    Any help will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks.
