Cannot encrypt/decrypt zip-Files correctly (Andreas)

[Leigh S. Jones]

I haven't tackled this problem yet, but I can venture a guess.

GnuPG will allow a command line that contains the "--homedir
[directory]" option.
It also allows you to use a different option file from the usual one
with the command
line option "--options [filename]".  You can use a directory with
read/write privileges
for the user that your web server logs in as.
