ok thank you soo much, but I am getting this error upon a manual decryption it tell me this:
C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG>gpg --passphrase-fd=ohiohea1th_is --decrypt + --output decrypted.txt tstfil e.asc Reading passphrase from file descriptor 0 ... You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "derek smith" 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 985DB557, created 2005-12-30 (main key ID 4A673 +EF3) gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 985DB557, created 2005-12-3 +0 "derek smith" gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
####### and with
--passphrase-fd= open (PASS, "+<$pass") using . fileno(PASS) I get this error: Reading passphrase from file descriptor 3 ... You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "derek smith" 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 985DB557, created 2005-12-30 (main key ID 4A673 +EF3) gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 985DB557, created 2005-12-3 +0 "derek smith" gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available Press any key to continue . . .
####### I know my passphrase is right b/c I executed:
