Well… I don’t see how this relates to programming-scripting, which is
the theme of this area. Thus I’ll refrain from answering till explained,
or the thread is moved to the appropriate area.

uneing.] (1). martin_kaspar <martin.kaspar@campus-24.com>
well how can i find the private key. where is it?
i have no glue.?
Well - why do i ask this: some questions that come up if i think about the keys: - the private and the public.
Well - what about the export - i can do a export of key- but how to find the private key.
note - i want to use the private key in another programme than email.
i want to use the key in combination with Filezilla.
Am i able to do such with keys that are generated with KGpg ?
Do i need to copy the keys for such usage into other folders!`?
gpg -a --export mynamekey > mynamekey-public-gpg.key
gpg --export martin.kaspar@campus-24.com > mynamekey-public-gpg.key
does not work
Dear Robin - the question of the day is - where can i find the two pairs of my new key set.
gpg> list
well this does not list the keys - what should i do?

Yes, you can. Click on the triangle button and ask moderators to do it
for you.

hello dear Robin, hello dear moderators
can you put this thread to the appropiate forum?
The programming-forum is not the right place for this question on KGpg
i guess that there were serveral better places.
look forward to some helping hands.
thx for all in advance.
greetings

Try again.
There is a little triangle button below your window. It is labeled
“report” or similar. Click on it, request move.
If moderators had already seen this thread, they would already had moved
this days ago, or told me straight up to shut up, that I was mistaken
(nicely, of course 
- they have better manners than I do). You can
not simply write another post here asking for it.
I’m not using the web, so I can not use that button. You have to do it.

hello dear Robin
well - i allready did it-.
in other words - i have sent the moderators an e-mail. i used the traingle button
what you can see in the previous post is just a copy of the test that i have sent via the reporting tool.
so i guess that the mods will do the next steps as soon as they will get the time to do that.
greetings
Will be moved to Applications.
Moved from Programming/Scripting.
BTW, it is you that should start your thread in the most fitting (sub)forum in the first place. And when you think you made a mistake, you can of course ask the mods to move it (through the report button), but then it is again you that should ask to move it to whatever (sub)forum you think it should have gone. It is not the mods that have to study your problem and then take the decission where to move it.

Thanks.
And perhaps I should explain my reticence to answer in the wrong area.
I’m using nntp, not web access, as those that know me are aware. This
has the consequence that when a thread is moved, I do not see the
starting posts of the thread, they remain at the old place. Thus I have
now to open two places, one to answer the questions, and another to see
what was asked. And I have to be extra careful not to answer at the
wrong place, or I create a new mess.
This complicates things for me quite a bit. Doable, but slow.
I will try to answer the original question, but it will have to wait.
Have to do some urgent house repairs first. Some hours.

Thanks.
Now I can answer the OP questions.

In kgpg you first select the key, right click, then on that context menu
select “Export public key”. Once done, you right click on the same entry
and select “Export secret key” instead.

You have to use “gpg2 --export --output filename”, but this exports all
keys in the keyring. For the private keys you have to use
“–export-secret-keys” and “–export-secret-subkeys” if they exist. Read
the man gpg2 page.

Well, you can simply copy the entire “~/.gnupg/” directory from one
machine to another. That’s the easiest thing to do. Well, maybe you want
to skip some of the files: it is very easy to see what is each file, the
names are obvious.
