  1. Greetings, How can I encrypt a file, and not have it associated (or dependent upon) a public key/private key? In other words, I simply want to encrypt a file with a passphrase. Anyone that knows that passphrase will be able to decrypt it. This would be useful to put my secret key on a backup drive, and not have to worry that my secret key will fall into the wrong hands (because I will encrypt the secret key, before saving it to a backup drive). I cannot figure out the options for the command line to instruct gpg to encrypt a file. It seems determined to associate any encryption with a public key. Please advise. Thank you.
