Importing PGP keys
I'm hoping someone can help get me moving in the right direction here, so bear with me.

I've got 2 RedHat Linux servers, let's call them A & B.

- A receives "sensitive" files, which are PGP encrypted, and immediately sends them off to B for decryption/processing/deletion

- B needs to make a call to A in order to obtain the private key needed to decrypt the file it has received from A.

Just to level-set, I've never imported a key pair, let alone attempt to separate the keys from the server like this.

Can someone provide me some information to help get me going on implementing such a setup?

Thanks!
Pete
