Endpoint Encryption

    Hello,
    My company is using PGP Desktop on a Windows 2008 box.
    We have set up Netshare to encrypt a folder, and the goal is to take files and dump into this folder and encrypt via script.

    I am using VBScript....

    The comman line in the VBScript to do this operation looks like this::
    C:\Program Files (x86)\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\pgpnetshare.exe --encrypt f:\test\ccie_ip_address_practice.xlsx --recipient xxxxxxx  --signer xxxxx --passprhase xxxxxx --output F:\Secure_Share\CCIE_IP_Address_Practice.xlsx

     

    But it will not work.
    If I take that command and open a CMD window and run directly from there, then PGPNetshare.exe balks and says it doesn't understand the --output switch....says it is invalid.
    But the 10.2 documentation shows it as a valid arguement.

    So how can I do this via script.

    The end plan is to get the script working and then install him as a Service to run automatically anytime a file comes into the source folder (f:\Test\) and move it to the destination folder (f:\secure_share\)

     

    Thanks for anyhelp.

    I was able to get it figured out.
    I needed to --unlock the folder first, then I could copy files to the folder and encrypt.
