GPG Sharing encrypted files

Occasionally you want to share a secret file, be it a password, or some credentials, or even somethings else with colleague(s) over the unsecure internet or via Email.

gpg is a useful program for achieving this but it does require you to have the public key of the person you are intending to encrypt the file for, or a shared public key to which everyone has the private one.

You ENCRYPT: gpg -z0 --output message.gpg --encrypt --recipient “Person-B" message.txt

Colleague DECRYPT: gpg --output message --decrypt message.gpg
