Hi, What would be a reasonably secure and simple way to encrypt files on Linux and then send them to a non-technical Windows user so she would be able decrypt and read them? Any ideas? Thanks
Consider 7-Zip from Debian package p7zip-full and available for Windows syswtems: https://www.7-zip.org/ Encrypt on Linux: $ 7z a -ptestwort -mhe=on secret.7z secret.txt Decrypt on Windows: Double-Click or use commandline: % 7z x -o. secret.7z Alternatively, you could also use aescrypt (https://www.aescrypt.com/). It is not in Debian but supports a variety of operating systems including Linux and Windows. GPG should also run on Windows, but is a little harder to use IMHO. HTH Linux-Fan
