Exporting public and private keys

Top  Previous  Next

Using JSCAPE MFT Server Manager you can export an existing public PGP key.  A typical scenario in which you would export a PGP public key would be the case where you want to distribute your public key to individuals/organizations who will then use your public key for encrypting documents that they then send to you for decryption.

 

To export a PGP public key click the File > Key Manager menu option in JSCAPE MFT Server Manager.  The "Key manager" dialog is displayed.  Select the "OpenPGP keys" tab, select the key alias you wish to export, then click the "Export" button.  The "Export OpenPGP key" dialog is displayed.
