I'm trying to decrypt a gnupgp file using a vbscript. Here a copy of my script...
1) I created a WScript object, on which I execute the gpg command with the --decrypt function. Even though I can successfully decrypt the file I can't seem to automate the part where I have to provide my passphrase.

Has anyone dealt with this? If so I'd appreciate any help.

thanks,

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\Inetpub\ftproot\ConcurrFTP\Inbox ")
Set objFiles = objFolder.Files
Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")

fPath = "C:\Inetpub\ftproot\ConcurrFTP\Inbox\"

dteCurrent = Date()
timCurrent = Time()
dteDay = Day(dteCurrent)
dteMonth = Month(dteCurrent)
dteYear = Year(dteCurrent)
timMin = Minute(timCurrent)
timHou = Hour(timCurrent)

if dteMonth < 10 then dteMonth = "0" & dteMonth
if dteDay < 10 then dteDay = "0" & dteDay

Set f1 = fso.CreateTextFile(fPath & fFile, True)

' step through the files collection
For Each objFile in objFiles

' get a file's name
strName = objFile.Name

' make it lowercase for the URL
strFile = Lcase(strName)

' get the file's type
strType = objFile.Type

' make the name a title for display
'strName = MakeTitle(strName)

' get the file size in KB
'lngSize = objFile.Size\1024

NewFName = strFile
NewFNameLen = len(NewFname)
NewFName = Left(NewFName,NewFNameLen-4) & ".txt"

gnuComm = objFile
FilTyp = left(strFile,4)

CurDat = dteYear & dteMonth & dteDay

CurrentDate = ""
ActualDate = ""

if FilTyp = "extr" then
    ActDate = mid(strFile,16,8)
    CurrentDate = CurDat
    ActualDate = ActDate
    if CurrentDate = ActualDate then

'Decrypt file
gnuComm2 = "c:\gnupg\gpg -o " & FPath & NewFName " --passphrase-fd 0 -d " & objFile
        gnuComm = gnuComm2
        oShell.Run gnuComm, 1, true
    end if

end if
Next

Did you ever solve this issue? I am having the same issue now. Not able to pass a passphrase using vbscript.

I am having the same problems with automating the decryption process. I've tried many different ways to pass in the passphrase, but to no avail.

Please let me know how you did.
Thanks

In order to pass the passphrase to GPG you have to put it in a file and use that file as a input like the following example:

gpg --batch -r 51E5908B --passphrase-fd 0 -e File2Encrypt.txt < passphrase-in-here.txt
