8.3. What is the syntax of the key server commands? (PGP)
The key server expects to see one of the following commands placed in
the subject field. Note that only the ADD command uses the body of the
message.
- ------------------------------------------------------------- ADD Your PGP public key (key to add is body of msg) (-ka) INDEX List all PGP keys the server knows about (-kv) VERBOSE INDEX List all PGP keys, verbose format (-kvv) GET Get the whole public key ring (-kxa *) GET <userid> Get just that one key (-kxa <userid>) MGET <userid> Get all keys which match <userid> LAST <n> Get all keys uploaded during last <n> days - -------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to get the entire key ring and have access to FTP, it
would be a lot more efficient to use FTP rather than e-mail. Using
e-mail, the entire key ring can generate a many part message, which
you will have to reconstruct into a single file before adding it to
your key ring.
