Sorry. I found the default-recipient parameter in the ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file. However, when I set:
default-recipient-self I receive: No such user ID. I have not uploaded my newly created key information to a keyserver, Is that a requirement? TIA, Herb ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Herb Burnswell <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 12:50 PM Subject: default user and recipient To: [email protected] All, I am new to pgp and would like to understand the minimum flags that I should be using for my encryption/decryption needs. I just want to encrypt files for decryption by one other person. We have exchanged public keys. I have read in several places that I can run: gpg -e filename However I receive: You did not specify a user ID. (you may use "-r") Current recipients: Enter the user ID. End with an empty line: Questions: 1. Can I set default behavior to not have to specify a user ID? 2. What other flags should be used per best practices? Any guidance is greatly appreciated, Herb
