Hi all,

Last question :)
By default, gpg will refuse to write to a file (myfile.gpg) that already exists. Is there a way to change this behaviour?

I am running gpg on batch mode on a server to encrypt a database before downloading. So I need to temporarily store the encrypted file on the server. There are two ways to accomplish this:

1) Give Apache write permission to an entire directory, so it can add and delete files in that directory.

2) Give Apache write permission to just one file (myfile.gpg) and keep overwriting every time I download a new encrypted backup.

Right now I'm doing (1) but I guess that (2) would be better. But I can only do (2) if I can confince gpg to overwrite an existing file.

I looked at the man page and FAQs and I couldn't find this information.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
