ok here is the script i am using... to encrypt. it just simply splits my
large file into 6Million records each and then ecrypts it using the clients
public key. its a really small script.


#!/bin/ksh

cd /load01/infutor/$1/output/

split -l 6000000 fds_$1_txt fds_$1_txt_

for file in $(ls fds_$1_txt_??); do
 gpg --always-trust -o $file.pgp -e -r FDSolutions $file
done
