gpg --send-keys FAIL


Hey guys,

I have gpg (not sure how to check the version) installed and running nicely. I am attempting to publicize my public RSA key to various key servers, but even tho everything seems to work nicely in actuality it does not.

Code:
gpg --send-keys --keyserver=pgp.mit.edu
When I check that particular (and others after similar attempts) keyserver for my e-mail address it only finds my old, revoked key. How can I get publishing my RSA key from the command line to work in actuality?

Thanks in advan

You didn't specify the name of the key to send, and the keyserver format is wrong.
Code:
gpg --send-keys <key-name> --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
man gpg
