how to import a public key in 'KGpg ?

[Maze]

Hello dear experts

how to import a key of a friend ... into KGpg

 

is this possible with

gpg -a --import

i guess that this is much more apropiate than this code
 

 gpg -a -i

btw - or are there options to import directly without any comand line

 

can i import it directly with kgpg !?

 hello dear all - i have apied the following code to the files

- note my friend send me two different files  - pgp-files


i have applied the following line of code:

gpg -a --import [filename]

i have applied the code to the to existing files ... which i wanted to import:

encrypted1.asc
encrypted2.asc

	[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted1.asc

	gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.

	gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0

	[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted1.asc

	gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.

	gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0

	[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted2.asc

	gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.

	gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0

	[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ [/CODE]



	hmm - i am wondering why it failed...

hello dear all

if i try to import the key with  KGpg - the KDE client - wiht the option - take the text from editor .. then i get back the warning

Text in editor is no key but a crypted text - should i treat the text and try to decypher it?

well that said - my friend sent me a crypted file for a public key  - well this seems not to be necessary -

what to do now

[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -d encrypted1.asc
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 347E856F4F5D2DC6
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 6C37EEFDAB40A2B8

gpg: Entschlüsselung fehlgeschlagen: Kein geheimer Schlüssel
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ ^Mgpg -d encrypted2.asc

well the trial to decypher seems to fail - and i guess the best is to ask my friend how he encrypted the file.
