For the Input File attribute, specify the location of your file to encrypt and sign.

For the Output File attribute, specify the name of the encrypted file to create. Otherwise leave blank and the encrypted file will get a .pgp extension (for example, file.txt becomes file.txt.pgp)

For the Output Directory attribute, specify the directory to place the encrypted file. Leave this field blank to create the encrypted file in the same directory as the input file.

Specify any additional attributes for the task. Field level help can be accessed by clicking the field name.

Select the PGP Encrypt Task by clicking it in the project outline.

Click the

You can add additional tasks (for example, FTP, Send Mail or HTTP) to the Project for sending the encrypted file to your trading partner's server.

When done making changes to the Project, click the

Validate link (located towards the top of the page) to validate the syntax of the Project.

If the validation was successful, then click the
