Decrypting Files

To decrypt files: In a task, add a process step that references the built-in script PGP Decrypt.

If the original (encrypted) had an extension indicating that it was encrypted (for example, .pgp), edit the task's destination to save the decrypted version without the extension.

Prerequisites: To decrypt a file, you must have a private key that corresponds to the public key that was used to encrypt the file. MOVEit Automation searches for a matching key in your PGP keyring.

Details:

1. Click TASKS. Create a new traditional or advanced task, or edit an existing task.
2. Click Step > Process. If the task already contains steps, select a location for the new step.

   The Add process dialog box opens.

3. Select the built-in script PGP Decrypt. Click Add Process.
4. If the original (encrypted) file used an extension such as .pgp to indicate that they were encrypted, edit the destination to remove the extension. Do one of the following:
   • Add a destination: Click Step > Destination, specify how to save the destination file, and click Next. The next Edit Destination dialog box opens.

     - or -

   • Edit an existing destination: In the destination row, click the more options icon and select Edit. The Edit Destination dialog box opens.
5. Uncheck the Use original filename(s) checkbox. Change the filename to [OnlyName] and click Save.
