script to encrypt any file with password

Some times we need to encrypt  any file before sending to others , through mail or by any mean.


Script to encrypt any file




#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter the file location and file name to encrypt "

read a

 gpg -c $a

echo "OK its done , now the original file will be deleted "



rm -rf $a

and when the receiver will receive the file he will decrypt the same file the following way


gpg -d 2.gpg > 3




before encrypting the file name 2 

after encrypting the file name 2

after recovering the file and named it as 3
