AGENT-TRANSFER(1) User Commands AGENT-TRANSFER(1) NAME agent-transfer - copy a secret key from gpg-agent to ssh-agent SYNOPSIS agent-transfer [options] KEYGRIP [COMMENT] DESCRIPTION agent-transfer extracts a secret key from a modern version of GnuPG agent and sends it to the running SSH agent. This is useful for people whose keys are managed in the long-term by GnuPG's gpg-agent, but who prefer the semantics of OpenSSH's ssh-agent for regular use. agent-transfer was written as part of the monkeysphere project. The KEYGRIP should be specified as a sequence of 20 hexadecimal characters. If you aren't sure of the keygrip, you can inspect the output of: gpg --with-keygrip --list-secret-keys The COMMENT is optional, and will be stored alongside the key in ssh-agent. It must not start with a -, to avoid being mistaken for an option. OPTIONS agent-transfer also accepts options that would normally be passed to ssh-add(1) to constrain the use of the transferred key: -c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before being used for authentication. -t SECONDS Indicates that the key should have a lifetime of SECONDS in the run- ning ssh-agent. FILES ~/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent The socket where gpg-agent is listening. This is the "standard socket" for modern GnuPG. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES GNUPGHOME The GnuPG home directory, where the standard socket for gpg-agent lives. If this is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.gnupg. SSH_AUTH_SOCK Specifies the location where the running ssh-agent is present. Several other environment variables are also passed in some form to the gpg-agent to help it figure out how to run a sensible pinentry, including GPG_TTY, TERM, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY, GTK_IM_MODULE, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_AD- DRESS, and LANG. BUGS agent-transfer can only work with RSA and Ed25519 keys. Support for other key types not yet implemented. Patches welcome!
