Can't open PGP file with Gnupg
I'm having an issue opening a file sent to us. They are using pgp commend line version 6.5. We are using GnuPG 2.0.12. When we try to open the file we get the message File contained no openPGdata. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Can't open PGP file with Gnupg
Thanks Charly for the quick response. We are a windows user. I'll need to verify the exact version of pgp they are using. I won't be able to see if that works until tomorrow but hopefully it does.

GnuPG requires Unix line endings. Maybe, just maybe the file that was created by 6.5 command line (would that be PGP Command line 6.5.8?) is not Unix line ended. You might want to try and convert that file from his current format to Unix line-endings, using a text editor. As a Macintosh user, I would avail myself of BBEdit. I guess that you are a Windows user, I don't know which editor would be available. Just a thought.

The line ending convention is specified in RFC4880, and both GnuPG and PGP conform to that. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I'm happy to take a look at a file to see what exactly is wrong if you're willing/able to send me one. I'd need the key to decrypt it, so either encrypt the test message to my key (99242560), or make a new key for the purpose. Most likely the problem you are having is that PGP version 6.5 is beyond antique at this point. You might try adding the --pgp6 flag to your gpg invocation, which enables some workarounds for various PGP 6-isms, but basically the problem is that PGP 6.5 predates the standard that GnuPG follows.

I remember that in order to have GnuPG import e.g. key blocks generated by prior to Windows and even Macintosh PGP 7.0 releases, I had to convert those key blocks to Unix line-endings. Right now, using PGP Desktop 10.0.2.13, I have no such problem. Another erroneous guessing would be that the file that Brian has been trying to import is not in ASCII format?

I should be able to send you a test file tomorrow. We will try adding that flag as well.
