This script command imports a PGP key file (*.gpg; *.pgp; *.asc) or keyring file (*.pkr; *.skr; *.pubkr) exported from Robo-FTP or from another PGP encryption package.

 

The following example imports a key present in Robo-FTP’s working folder.

 

PGPIMPORT "export_key.pgp"

 

The following example imports a key into a keyring present in the specified folder.

 

PGPIMPORT "export_key.pgp" "c:\gnupg"

 

Importing using wildcards

The PGPIMPORT command supports using wildcards to specify the key file. This can be used, for example, to automatically import all keys in a particular directory.

 

** Import all key files that end in ".pgp" and delete the files after successful import

PGPIMPORT "*.pgp" /delete

 

PGP key files may also be both imported and exported using the Configurator.  It is important to backup your PGP keys whenever you import a new one.
