7.2. Generating OpenPGP key pairs

The sysaxftp.exe console program can be used to generate a OpenPGP key pair using the -pgpkeygen option. A new key pair is generated and stored in the default keyring. The username is a text string or email address that is linked with the generated key pair and is used to select the private or public key belonging to the key pair.

Exhibit 7.1. Syntax of command for generating a openPGP key pair
