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 In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file, I set: default-recipient-self which I assume means that the default key (I only have one) is used for both encryption and decryption. However, I receive: No such user ID. I have not uploaded my newly created key information to a keyserver, Is that a requirement? What are good 'best practices' flags that should be used with encryption and decryption with pgp? Thanks in advance, any guidance is greatly appreciated. Herb
