List unencrpted files in encrypted file share

  • 1.  List unencrpted files in encrypted file share

    Hello,

     

    Is there an easy way to list the unencrypted files with a PGP encrypted File Share?  Running the "Folder Status" only provides the number of unencrytped files.  Id like to be able to retrieve the filenames and paths of all unencrytped files.

    I'd rather not run a re-encrypt operation on the entire folder since it changes the modified date of all of the files which annoyes the hell out of our users, so finding and encrypting them individually may be the way to go provided it's not a large number. 

    Of course, if anyone has a way to re-encrypt all files while maintaining the original modified dates please share!

    Thanks!

    Rob

    Following up on this, Symantec responded with a solution which is to use the pgpnetshare command line, which installs automatically when you install Symantec Encryption Desktop.  The manual for it is here: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC6312.html

    The command to use is

    pgpnetshare --verify <path to netshare> --verbose

    you can also output the data to a file by tacking on --output-file <pathtofile>

    This command lists every file with its path and gives a warning if it's unencrypted.  Unfortunately, the output is just an unformatted and undelimited dump so importing into a csv for parsing isnt an option, but you can at least search it with a decent text editor.
