Thanks Lloyd, I wondered about that, but not sure how to get it to convert it to ASCII.

External email. Do not open attachments or click links, unless this email comes from a known sender and you know the content is safe. The issue is probably EBCDIC vs ASCII for the pass-phrase.

I can successfully encrypt a file using a PassPhrase (not keys) and can decrypt it on another mainframe system. However, if I send the encrypted file to another platform I cannot decrypt it. It detects that I've used a passphrase, and AES_256, but will not accept the PassPhrase. This is what I get on Windows: C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Downloads>gpg -o D2021109.TEST3.TXT --decrypt D2021109.TEST3.ENC gpg: AES256.CFB encrypted session key gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key On Linux it's similar but the message is gpg: decryption failed: no secret key Any help welcome.
