I am seeking a freeware, open-source, or fairly cheap PGP Command Line app which can do PGP file encryption.

It should be a Windows solution, and should be able to be called at the command-line, passing parameters, or using a Batch file.

It should also support all the latest versions of windows and windows servers OS.

Please, no GUI interfaces. I seek just a command-line tool. The smaller the package (less distributable) the better.

Thanks for any help you may provide

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because you say specifically "I am seeking a freeware, open-source, or fairly cheap PGP Command Line app which can do PGP file encryption." and to me this means you are software shopping. Beep Beep!! Jun 20, 2017 at 4:12

There's a Windows port of GNU Privacy Guard (gpg) at http://gpg4win.org.

Since you want the smallest thing that does the job: the "light" release for version 1.0.9 is only 4MB. See http://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.9.exe

  • Newer versions of the light version are available at files.gpg4win.org. Alternately you can unzip (7z) the ~25MB installer, and then unzip (7z) the $TEMP/gnupg-w32... installer and get a working, portable GPG instance for about 12MB.

Wouldn't that be GPG?'

The page I linked above says

Project Gpg4win provides a Windows version of GnuPG. It is nicely integrated into an installer and features several frontends as well as English and German manuals." That page has a "Download" button that takes you to a list of downloads including Vanilla installer.

  • Tried downloading it. One link i ended up getting nothing but C code. The other link was a huge Windows GUI package. Any ideas, exactly what i need to download to get a command-line binary to do file exncryption? Very hard deciphering the downloads Apr 23, 2012 at 22:53
  • GPG uses PGP (RFC4880 - ietf.org/rfc/rfc4880.txt) "GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP)." Jun 19, 2017 at 22:51
