gpg over ssh...

Hash: SHA256

this seems to work for me:

  $ ssh atom at smasher.org 'cat file1' | gpg | ssh atom at smasher.org 'cat - > file2'

note the quotes.

it reads an encrypted file (file1) from the server, decrypts it locally 
and writes the decrypted data back to a file (file2) on the server.

my secret key and password stay away from the server.
