The syntax posted on the GPG website is obviously wrong.
gpg -e Recipient [Data} or gpg --encrypt Recipient [data]
I tried this and gpg gives a help message>>
gpg -options --encrypt [Filename]
So i try this and get the same result No encrpypted file
and the same help message.
I've created my keyrings and got no erorrs.
But I can't encrypt any files.
Some one please help.
Using Zenwalk (slackware) kernel 2.6.16.1

this is what i'm typing: gpg --encrpypt MyID MyFile
also tried gpg -out --encrypt Filename.
Nothing works, tried all syntax listed on the wesite.

I use the following to encrypt a file. I keep it in a script (with variables, not hard coded) and it's usually used so that if I'm encrypting a file for someone I also encrypt it for me so that I can cc the email to me:

Ok thanks gilead.
I figured it out.

Glad to hear it
