I am trying to setup a scheme where someone can encrypt a file during the FTP process that only I could decrypt on the download. As I understand from the documentation I should construct a pair of RSA keys and define a download process that utilizes both of those keys. Then the public key is sent to the other use who defines an upload process using just the public key provided.
When I try to perform an upload operation with a single public key Core FTP crashes. It upload correctly if I have both the Public and Private keys defined.
I'm using RSA 1024Bit encryption.
Does anyone recognize a problem in this setup (other than the fact it does not work!)
I am using CoreFtp Pro V1.3c Build 1447.6
Encryption/Decryption Issue
I did read the page on encryption before. And it works fine if you leave the same pair of keys in place. But it does not indicate how you would go about using one key to encrypt and one to decrypt since it lists using both keys for both the encryption and decryption. If you try and use a private key in place of a public key or vis-versa you get a encryption error in the log window.
What we would really like to do is publish our public key and let people use it to encrypt data that only we could read back thus providing a secure path for our customers to send us data. This intent precludes using shared keys.
Currently we are looking to us GnuPG to encrypt the zip file before its FTP'ed to us but use of CoreFTP built in encryption would provide a simpler service for our customers.
