Topics covered:

• how to use PGP or GnuPG with AFT
• how the transfer direction implies decryption or encryption
• demo of setting up the PGP template, defining a connection profile and then creating jobs to encrypt/upload or download/decrypt a file

NOTE

In later versions of GnuPG (gpg), it appears that by default the application ignores the --batch option and still prompts for a password interactively, causing the AFT/MFT job to hang.
This can be resolved by adding the following line to the gpg-agent.conf file:
allow-loopback-pinentry
(on Windows, this would be in c:\ProgramData\GNU\etc\gnupg\gpg-agent.conf, which you may need to create, including the directory structure).
Then in the command-line for the decrypt, add the option:  --pinentry-mode loopback
