gpg expects to be able to interact with the terminal by default. If it can't it errors out.

You need to add the '--notty' switch to your gpg command line in your script.

do you suppose the actual commands / script used in cron might have been helpful?

as well as the actual crontab entry?
the messages produced from the command line (if any)?

HI:

What operating system and software are you using? The 'autoftp.pl' notation suggests a Perl script.

The message "gpg: cannot open `/dev/tty': No such device or address" is consistent with a crontask which is _not_ associated with a terminal when it runs.

Remember that a 'cron' task runs in a very minimal environemnt. Your PATH, for example, is limited to '/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:.'
