hmmm I google "neto.zip.pgp" and get http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...q=neto.zip.pgp ... oh what?? a rapist porn site??
What is it you are looking for??
thats the only thing that came up in the google search. I cant figure out what your asking... but theres a start with google....
I cant make out your question... please rephrase.
I'll save you the pain of a headache, avenger_jcc. The file Avid is trying to open is a PGP encrypted file. Hence the pgp extension. Download PGP and setup your key.
Maybe a lil' reading would help, also.
thanks but im still lost,
how can someone distribute a silly file that i have to find a
program to open the file with.it should be self extracting shouldnt it?
i didnt find anything windows xp on the site for downloads
seriously large file download to just view a file too geez
The file neto.zip.pgp has been encrypted with PGP. It's not self extracting because you need the pgp program to decrypt the file, the result will be a zip file called neto.zip
Then you just use whatever program you use to open zip archives with. Pgp has nothing to do with Windows XP.
I am running pgp just fine on Window XP. Are you sure you got the correct passoword, and you are supposed to have this file???
Who would like to enlighten me as to what I missed?
I really wouldn't mind.
what version pgp is for xp then everything on the site is either
for Windows 2000 Windows 3.x Windows 95/98/NT Windows ME
i guess i could choose compatibility mode but.........just to view a single file
thats a bummer to install pgp
Windows 2000 version should work with XP. I didn't mean it wouldn't run on XP, just that if you searched something like "pgp windows xp" you wouldn't necessarily find anything because they aren't directly related.
Also, souleman's right, to decrypt a pgp file you need the alternate key to the one that encrypted it. If you don't even have pgp then who's key was used to encrypt the file in the first place?
thanks and anyone else clueless like me this

good point.i downloaded the file off a discussion board it gave a password
i thought well i just need to unzip it and give the password but lo
and behold its not simply a zip but a neto.zip.pgp
thats when i ran to my antionline family
its supposed to be porn (the file)
but now im really confused if i need another pgp key to open it
wow why did i bother
Hehe, I thought so. you need a public and private key. the encrypter has the private key and the one wanting to decrypt recieves the public key. The keys are created in a set, and the public one is distributed. hence you must have the ORIGINAL SENDERS public key. the file is passed through the public key, and it unlocks it, since its coded with the same code as the private key. this is meant for secure transmissions over PPTP. So without the original public key, your SOL.Quote:
[i] its supposed to be porn (the file)
[/B]
EDIT: note : some servers store the public key... so if its on the server... you should be able to get it.... but thats kinda doubtful if they are using pgp...whats the point if you give out the key to the lock?
Why are there negs in this thread? Is Mocfaester back?
Dunno, X, I got hit with negs on my first reply, Im not sure why, they didnt sign it, and I asked to be contacted... but it was a odd assignment... ??? *shrug* could be?
