I am using Mountain Lion and when I encrypt a file using gpg an annoying GUI prompts for me to enter the passphrase. I would like to be prompted for the passphrase in the terminal, not in an external GUI. I may be doing that remotely for example.

Is there a way to make gpg for mac ask for the passphrase in the terminal and no in a GUI prompt?


UPDATE: This seems very hard with gpg2 so I have downgraded to gpg1. Tried everything with gpg2 (MacGPG2) and nothing worked. Sucks! With gpg1 works fine!
