Generating a PGP key

You can generate multiple PGP keys irrespective of the status of the existing PGP keys. Each PGP key can then be used for multiple SFTP profiles. A unique Configuration ID is generated for each PGP key.

You can also create a copy of a PGP key and a default version is created for the copied PGP key. When you create a copy of a PGP key, only the latest version under the original key is copied to the new PGP key.
