Re: [Macgpg-users] Can't import public keys - "no such file or directory."

[Marco <mar...@gm...>]

To move, import/export I usually do the following:

gpg --export NAME > pub.key
> gpg --export-secret-key NAME > priv.key

Then on the new machine

(then 'gpg edit-key NAME and update the trust if necessary)

Are you sure the file is where you think it is, and that you are in the same
directory?
I.e. does 'wc -c joesmith.gpg' work?
If so, gpg --import joesmith.gpg from the same directory doesn't?

Keys should be somewhere in ~/.gnupg/ but I don't think you're supposed to
touch those file directly, use gpg instead
