unix file encryption
Is there a way to encrypt a flat file or a database file so it can be ftp or sftp to a remote windows system?

this is for solaris/AIX etc.

or is there a 3 party sw that can be used?

i know in AIX6 this can be done but we are on AIX 5.3.x and 5.2.x

What do you mean by "encrypt a file"? If you transfer it by means of sftp the transmission would already occur in an encrypted way (basically this is what sets sftp and ftp apart). Or do you mean the recoding of the UNIX/DOS line endings? This is done by either a short sed script, tr or unix2dos/dos2unix.

I hope this helps.

AIX 5.x file encryption
Is there any way to encrypted a file for ftp in AIX?
I know in 6.x there is. May be there is some 3rd party sw that will do this?
I am trying to get my users to use sftp but need the file encrypted too. It is a FLAT file that is FTP to a PC right now.

I have been trying to compile

I was looking to encrypt the file before it is transferred. Right now we are using FTP. My end user will eventually be using SFTP.

I need something that is the file is more or cat etc it is not readable. But when it gets to the windows side it can be converted back to ascii test.

I'd recommend GnuPG: The GNU Privacy Guard - GnuPG.org

If your question has not been answered to your satisfaction PLEASE SAY SO instead of opening a new thread with the same question over and over again.

I am going to merge this one with your original thread.

opening a new threat was a mistake I am sorry about that. My browser had an issue. I think I posted that to the other thread.

And Yes I am still looking for solutions.
