Re: [tlug] gpg AKA ant

[Shawn <javajunkie@example.com>]

like I say, I am *nix challenged and didn't realize pgp could be used on a 
.tar file

To tar, compress, and encrypt:
 tar -czp /home/financial_data | gpg -r email@example.com -e > file.tgz.gpg

To decrypt, decompress, and extract:
 gpg --decrypt file.tgz.gpg | tar xvz

much easier than using ant to encrypt each file in a directory individually
