Thanks for the clarification, Chris. I got confused with recipient switch. In general (Exchange), Recipient is the one to whom we are sending the data or who will receive data. In our case we are sending the data to partner hence I was using partner's public key to encrypt the file. After I used my private key, the warning has gone & the file is encrypted in .asc format.
One more query, partner is saying they are unable to decrypt this file with my private key which they have trusted & asking to encrypt this file with my private key & their public key (already trusted on my server). when I am suing both the key identifier's, giving some syntax error. Kindly suggest how can I do this.
