I'm trying to decrypt an encrypted file thru an emulator that doesn't
have a valid /dev/tty, here's what I tried: cat .secret_passphrase | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --output OUTPUT.TXT --decrypt FILE.PGP > tmp 2>&1 and here's what's in the file tmp: gpg: cannot open /dev/tty: No such address or device I'm not using a popular emulator, what I'm using is something called DBC Smart Client, it's actually running thru a command prompt (WINDOWS) and it's connecting to our Linux server thru TCP/IP. Any thoughts ??? thanks.... |

doing some more research, I don't think it's a shell level issue, I
believe is has something to do with the thin client I'm using. I'm connecting to the Linux server thru something called DBC Smart Client which is connecting thru TCP/IP running from a MS-DOS command prompt window. the command I used is: cat .secret_pass_file | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --output OUTPUT.TXT --decrypt FILE.PGP > tmp 2>&1 the error I get is: gpg: cannot open /dev/tty: No such address or device any thoughts ??? thanks... |
