Re: gpg to a pipe

[Antonin Karasek <lists@ceskyserver.cz>]

It's a little hard-core, but I CAN pipe over ftp - I just found yout how.

Fro a case, that anybody else need this, here is the script:

#!/bin/bash

date

cd /backup

mknod week.tar p
mknod week.tar.gpg p

tar -cpf week.tar --exclude=proc / &

echo "password" | gpg -c --passphrase-fd 0 \
        --no-tty --status-fd 1 --output=- week.tar > week.tar.gpg &

ftp -n the.server.com << EOF
quote USER user
quote PASS password
del week.tar.gpg
put |"cat week.tar.gpg" week.tar.gpg
ls
bye
EOF


rm week.tar*

date

exit 0

####### end of script

Many thanks for help
