[ale] Encrypting a file with multiple users?

[Lightner, Jeff]

If you have ssh/sftp/scp access then RSA is usually better.

If you only have ftp access you should use gpg (FOSS) or pgp to encrypt the file before sending then have recipient decrypt.

If really paranoid you can do both the RSA based transfer of a gpg (or pgp) encrypted file.

Hey all, what's the current best practice to move a file where the creator and recipient are not close by and do not share passwords? Is RSA/DSA public/private key still the best? Something else?
Thanks!
