Public and private key files used for OpenPGP encryption and decryption are stored in keyring files. The Sysax FTP Automation program maintains a default keyring. When a keyring file name is not explicitly specified, the default keyring is used. The -pgexportpublickey option is used to export a public key and the -pgpexportprivatekey option is used to export a private key.
