Does Robo-FTP PGP support RSA and the IDEA cipher?

Version 3.7 and later

Robo-FTP version 3.7 uses an implementation of OpenPGP which supports the RSA key algorithm and the IDEA encryption algorithm.

------------------------------------

Version 3.5 and previous

The official GnuPG distribution used with Robo-FTP does not contain IDEA due to a patent restriction. The patent does not expire before 2007 so don't expect official support before then.

However, there is an unofficial module available at ftp://ftp.gnupg.dk/pub/contrib-dk/. Look for:

ideadll.zip and ideadll.zip.sig

You will then need include the following option using the /gpgopt option of the PGPENCRYPT and PGPDECRYPT script commands.
