Using keys in Windows ans Linux

[Steve Butler]

export both your public and secret keys (perhaps in two passes)

On windows:

gpg --output my_public.key --export my-key-id 
gpg --output my_secret.key --export-secret-key my-key-id

On Linux (after gpg all set up):

gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import my_*.key

Note:  Not sure which version of GnuPG you have.  My man pages state:

       --allow-secret-key-import
                 This  is an obsolete option and is not used anywhere.

Be sure you use BINARY when you ftp the files from Windows to Linux.

Hi,

I'm currently using Gnupg running on a Windows PC. Now I'd like to use 
my keys on my Linux notebook.

How can I import my secret keys to GnuPG in Linux???

thanks a lot

Tobias
