11.31 O.S.
Its open source so no license issues right ?
But how can i decrypt the smae at our branches where we sftp this reports ?

There is no "GNU PGP". There is PGP, "Pretty Good Privacy". There
is GPG, "GNU Privacy Guard".

If GPG was used to encrypt a file, most people would probably use the
same program to do the decryption. Where is the mystery?
> [...] and sftp them to our branches ?
If you're using SFTP to transfer the files, do you really need to
encrypt them first?
What, exactly, is your goal?

FTP and SFTP are different. If you use SFTP, it's not obvious that
you also need to use GPG or other encryption.

PGP and GPG are still two different programs.
https://www.gnupg.org/
GnuPG comes in three flavours:
o 2.0.28 is the stable version suggested for most users,
o 2.1.6 is the brand-new modern version with support for ECC and many
other new features,
o and 1.4.19 is the classic portable version.

Not a current version.

Who built your GPG program(s)? Who tested them? I've always used
the older 1.4.x version, so I know nothing about 2.x.x, but there seems
to be a problem with your password agent program. (I believe that 1.4.x
_can_ use gpg-agent, but does not _need_ to use it. But what do I
know?)

A working GPG program? (A reason to use GPG?)

Re: GNU PGP for 11.31
There was one problem: a dependency failed issue, the library libpth not installed, so that the gpg-agent can't running, because it needs the lib. In the gpg2 setting up, the gpg-agent (a daemon to caching securily the keys) is mandatory, it must be up and running. No libpth, no daemon, the gpg2 failed to start...
Try to compile yourself the gpg release 1.4.x (ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/), and solve any dependencies, but if you need the release 2, download it at http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search?term=gnupg&Search=Search, but solving all dependencies to running the software.

I haven't built GPG 1.4.x on an HP-UX system lately, but I would not
expect there to be many (any?) external dependencies to cause trouble.
The 2.x versions are more complex.

A goal is not an implementation. If your real goal is to transfer
files in a way that encrypts them during the transfer, then there is
more than one way to do it.
If you use SFTP instead of FTP (as you said at first), then the data
will be encrypted before the transfer, and decrypted after the transfer,
all automatically, with no need to drag GPG into the process.
If you must use FTP (or some other non-encrypting file transfer
scheme), then you may need to use a program like GPG (at both ends).
If you decide to use GPG, then you'll need to get some version of GPG
to work (also at both ends). GPG version 1.4.x is simpler, and probably
easier to get to work, than GPG version 2.x. I haven't tried it, but
the Porting Centre seems to offer 2.0.28 (which is current), along with
its dependencies:
