Importing OpenPGP keys (WS_FTP Professional)

In order to encrypt files for others to open using OpenPGP Mode, you will need to import their OpenPGP keys.   You can also import keys and keyrings that you use in another OpenPGP application.

Note: WS_FTP can only access keys and keyrings that exist as standalone files.  If the keys or keyrings you wish to import are embedded in an e-mail or in a OpenPGP application, you must export them prior to importing them with WS_FTP.

To import a OpenPGP Key or Keyring:

  1. From the main window, select Tools > Options.  The Program Options dialog appears.
  2. Select OpenPGP > Keys.
  3. Click Import. The OpenPGP Key Import Wizard appears.  
  4. Follow the on-screen directions to complete the import process.
