If I have the same filename in the target directory, decryption fails.
The command I'm using to decrypt:
gpg --passphrase-fd 0 -o D:/Notification/mytest.txt --batch \
--passphrase-file D:/passphrase.txt -d D:/Notification/mytest.gpg
It doesn't overwrite the mytest.txt file so each time I need to delete the file before I execute the script.
Is there any option to overwrite the output fie?

The GPG manual says that --enarmor and --dearmor "Pack or unpack an arbitrary input into/from an OpenPGP ASCII armor. This is a GnuPG extension to OpenPGP and in general not very useful." An arbitrary value?
To decrypt a message the option --decrypt is used. You need the private key to which the message was encrypted. Similar to the encryption process, the document to decrypt is input, and the decrypted result is output. blake% gpg --output doc --decrypt doc.
“PGP” stands for “Pretty Good Privacy”; “GPG” stands for “Gnu Privacy Guard.” It was the original freeware copyrighted program; GPG is the re-write of PGP. The PGP uses the RSA algorithm and the IDEA encryption algorithm. GPG uses the NIST AES, Advanced Encryption Standard.
Adding --batch --yes
Example:
gpg --batch --yes -u [email protected] -r "[email protected]" \
--output "OUTPUTFILENAME.xls.pgp" -a -s -e "FILE.xls"
Complete example with passphrase file:
gpg --batch --yes --passphrase-fd 0 -u [email protected] -r "[email protected]" \
--output "OUTPUTFILENAME.xls.pgp" -a -s -e "FILE.xls"< \
passphrase.txt
Just add the --yes option to you command line. The --yes option assumes yes for most questions which gpg will prompt for.
