PGP FileLock can also be operated via the command line, providing a way to integrate PGP encryption and decryption into your workflows.
python3 pgp_filelock.py generate --name "Your Name" --email "your.email@example.com" --expire-years 2 --key-size 4096 --passphrase "YourPassphrase" --private-key-file "private_key.asc" --public-key-file "public_key.asc" --overwrite
python3 pgp_filelock.py generate --name "Your Name" --email "your.email@example.com"
python3 pgp_filelock.py encrypt --file "path/to/your/file.txt" --public-key-file "public_key.asc" --output "encrypted_file.pgp" --overwrite
python3 pgp_filelock.py encrypt --file "path/to/your/file.txt" --public-key-file "public_key.asc"
python3 pgp_filelock.py decrypt --file "encrypted_file.pgp" --private-key-file "private_key.asc" --passphrase "YourPassphrase" --output "decrypted_file.txt" --overwrite
python3 pgp_filelock.py decrypt --file "encrypted_file.pgp" --private-key-file "private_key.asc"
Before attempting to compile the binaries, please ensure the following prerequisites are met:
pip install pyinstaller
key.png, lock.png, unlock.png) and the icon file (lock.ico) are located in the script's directory, having been copied there from the images folder.Once you have confirmed the prerequisites, use the following commands to compile the binaries for Windows and Linux:
pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "key.png;." --add-data "lock.png;." --add-data "unlock.png;." --clean --name pgp_filelock_1.0.0_x86_64-windows.exe --icon=lock.ico pgp_filelock.py
pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "key.png:." --add-data "lock.png:." --add-data "unlock.png:." --clean --name pgp_filelock_1.0.0_x86_64-linux --icon=lock.ico pgp_filelock.py
pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "key.png:." --add-data "lock.png:." --add-data "unlock.png:." --clean --name pgp_filelock_1.0.0_x86_64-macos.app --icon=lock.ico pgp_filelock.py
