But I want to encrypt        certain dirs first, and then send them off-site.              I figured out that I can use the gpgtar command which is part        of GnuPG.              eg. for a situation were I want to send the content of a        directory c:\data\secret, the corresponding command could be,              c:\temp> gpgtar -C c:\data -e -r august secret | winscp etc..              ..but I haven't tested winscp yet.              However, gpgtar can output to a pipe, so | would be ok.       --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 215 700 720       SEEN-BY: 218/810 820 840 850 860 870 880 900 930 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 113 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
