GPG : Failed to decrypt the file
Hi All,
I dont know what i am doing wrong, but i am facing a problem while decrypt gpg encrypted file , Below is the step of what is was doing.
[Server]
# gpg --gen-key => Generate GPG key
# gpg --export --armor keyname > output.key => take gpg key to output.key
#gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient recptname filename =>encrypt file for recipient
# scp output.key 192.168.10.2:/root/key => 10.2 is my client system where i copy my output gpg key
scp filename.asc 192.168.10.2:/root/key => copy the excrypted file to my client system
[client]
# cd /root/key
# gpg --import output.key => import server gpg key to my client system
# gpg filename.key => Try to decrypt but fail and getting the below error message
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 05ABA7C9, created 2012-05-07
"Ashish <ashish_sood@live.in>"
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
It telling me that secret key is not available but its is available on my system, below is the output from my client system
# gpg --list-key
pub 1024D/34E9A260 2012-05-07
uid Ashish <ashish_sood@live.in>
sub 1024g/05ABA7C9 2012-05-07

Thanks
Ashish Sood
