I have keys - now I want to encrypt a file

[Steve Butler]

Change the order a little.

gpg  --recipient "$1" --output "$2.gpg" --encrypt "$2"

Subject: I have keys - now I want to encrypt a file


Hi all,
I have just installed gpg on my Solaris system.
My requirement is to encrypt small flat files and send
them to outside recipients.  I have successfully
imported two public keys from these recipients.  Now I
want to encrypt 'testfile' to prepare it for FTPing to
one of the recipients.  What syntax should I use?  I
have thus far tried 

gpg --encrypt-files testfile --recipient
somebody at location.com keyname

but I get the message 'you did not specify a user ID'

suggestions?

I have checked the FAQ and do not find the answer
there.

thanks !
