No. When you symmetrically encrypt something you need to specify the passphrase that is used as a key to encrypt and decrypt that file. -- Pete Stephenson ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Of course there are problems with this approach (using --passphrase-fd and --passphrase-file makes things only marginally safer). Encryption via public-key requires no password at all, so maybe you are better off switching to it, depending on your use case. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Hi all, I am trying to run "gpg --symmetric test.txt" But its asking for Passphrase.
