Receiving Files Securely

Once someone has sent you protected files, you will need to unprotect them with FAOPGP, FAOPGP Reader or any other OpenPGP compatible software before you can use them.

Receiving files via email
If someone has sent you protected files via email they will appear as attachments to the mail message. Once you have opened the email with the secure attachment(s), all you need to do is double-click on the protected file(s). This will call FAOPGP to decrypt the file(s) to a temporary location.

Alternatively, select the attachment(s) in your email application and select 'Save it to disk' to save them to a folder of your choice.
