PGP command-line program t be called from script or batch file?

Question

I am seeking a freeware, open-source, or fairly cheap PGP Command Line app which can do PGP file encryption.

It should be a Windows solution, and should be able to be called at the command-line, passing parameters, or using a Batch file.

It should also support all the latest versions of windows and windows servers OS.

Please, no GUI interfaces. I seek just a command-line tool. The smaller the package (less distributable) the better.

Thanks for any help you may provide

Solution

There's a Windows port of GNU Privacy Guard (gpg) at http://gpg4win.org.

Since you want the smallest thing that does the job: the "light" release for version 1.0.9 is only 4MB. See http://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.9.exe

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because you say specifically "I am seeking a freeware, open-source, or fairly cheap PGP Command Line app which can do PGP file encryption." and to me this means you are software shopping. Beep Beep!!

Tried downloading it. One link i ended up getting nothing but C code. The other link was a huge Windows GUI package. Any ideas, exactly what i need to download to get a command-line binary to do file exncryption? Very hard deciphering the downloads

GPG uses PGP (RFC4880 - ietf.org/rfc/rfc4880.txt) "GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP)."

Newer versions of the light version are available at files.gpg4win.org. Alternately you can unzip (7z) the ~25MB installer, and then unzip (7z) the $TEMP/gnupg-w32... installer and get a working, portable GPG instance for about 12MB.
