Importing PGP Keys

You can import PGP Keys created with a third-party application like Kleopatra through the Arcus Management Site.

ASCII-armored keys with an .asc extension need to be uploaded to the Certs -> PgpKeyImports directory in the Web Transfer Client, then upload the ImportPgpKey.json​ file to initiate the import process.

To import PGP keys into EFT Arcus

  1. Create a JSON-formatted input file named ImportPGPKey.json.

  2. In the file, the JSON should be formatted as follows:

    {"Site":"supp02","KeyId":"petshop"}

    Where "suppo02" is the name of the Site, and "petshop" is the name of the Key.

  3. Log into the Web Transfer Client using your Arcus Management Template user account.

  4. Navigate to the Certs > PgpKeyIMports folder.

  5. Upload the PGP key (.ASC file) and the JSON file to the Certs -> PgpKeyImports folder.
