I'm in Finance with NO technical experience and have what I believe to be a VERY easy question for someone who knows this product.
I and 4 other colleagues are exchanging data with a vendor on an FTP site and we want the files we exchange, back and forth, to be encrypted.
All 4 of us have encryption desktop and the vendor's public key so we have no problem encrypting files and dropping them off. The vendor has no problem un-encrypting.
However, the vendor's automated application that picks up our files can only encrypt our files using 1 key. Since I was the first to install the software, I sent the vendor my public key and was able to receive files from them and unencrypt.
Is there a way for the other 3 people to also be able to open the file that's encrypted with my public key? I was hoping there was a way I could share my key with them so they can pick up files from the vendor and un-encrypt them. Is anyone aware of any way to do that?
Or is there a way for me to create a new key that can be shared among the 4 of us?
From what I gather it seems my only option is that I'll be the only person able download all the files.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
