Ok...I DO have SSH access to the server. And I have a little button in my
control panel that says "Manage Open PGP keys" which I can try to "Add a
new key" under, but I still haven't figured out what some of the fields
mean. To recap, these are the fields I have to fill in:
My name; my e-mail; comment/nickname; key/password; expire date; and key
size, which I can put at either 1024, 2048, or 4096. I tried to just make
a key like that, guessing my way through the pieces I didn't understand,
and came up with the following message:
gpg: Generating a standard key
gpg: /home/amazonde/.gpgtemp:7: missing argument
So now what? And once I've figured out how to make the key will the
public encryption key automatically encrypt any e-mails being sent from
the webserver? Thanks in advance!
