  • 1.  PGP Command Line with Cisco Tidal

    Posted Jul 07, 2015 03:47 PM

    I am attempting to decrypt files w/ PGP command line. When I do so via cmd.exe on the FTP server (where PGP Command Line is also installed), it works without issue. If I run the same code as a bat file, again no issue. However, when I use Tidal to connect to the FTP server and run the PGP decrypt script, it does nothing. I ensured permissions were set on all folders/ files, PGP_HOME_DIR is set along with the PGPprefs file.

    Tidal says it completed normally but there is no decrypted file output. It's like it does nothing. I am at a loss at this point.

    I'm on Windows Server 2012, but I'm would assume it would work just as well on Windows Server 2003 or 2008.  I think the problem is that Tidal places the decrypted file in a location you aren't expecting.  I honestly couldn't tell you where it is dropping it, but I found a way to make Tidal output the decrypted file wherever you need it to.  I just used the following command in the Command Parameters section of the Tidal job and it worked great.

    /c pgp --decrypt C:\test.gpg --passphrase testpass -o C:\test.xml

    It will decrypt the file where you specify the file to be and it will output the decrypted file where you specify it as well.  Hope that helps.
