Answers to: Encrypt or Decrypt a file with seahorsehttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/729/encrypt-or-decrypt-a-file-with-seahorse<p>Hi, I have an old file bank.pgp which I can't decrypt. It just says Decrypting then the bug buddy comes up. It also can't encrypt a file. It says Choose recipients, then it just does nothing. The seahorse version is 2.28.1 Mandriva 2010. I was going to try and delete the .gnupg directory. The password is the same. cheers</p>enSun, 30 May 2010 23:45:16 -0400Answer by LiquidPaperhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/729/encrypt-or-decrypt-a-file-with-seahorse/739<p>to decrypt a file use </p> <p><code>gpg --decrypt encrypted-file.gpg --output decrypted-file.txt</code></p> <p>before deleting the .gnupg directory remember to save your secring.gpg file!</p>LiquidPaperSun, 30 May 2010 23:45:16 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/729/encrypt-or-decrypt-a-file-with-seahorse/739Answer by Web31337http://linuxexchange.org/questions/729/encrypt-or-decrypt-a-file-with-seahorse/730<p>Try using plain "gpg", it's the easiest way to know the problem.</p>Web31337Sat, 29 May 2010 06:43:39 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/729/encrypt-or-decrypt-a-file-with-seahorse/730
