$ gpg --export-secret-keys -a D4763C61 > key
$ scp key.pub key linux1:www/
$ wget https://.../key    # make sure the key can be accessed by https connection
$ wget https://.../key.pub

Copy the ASCII-armor format

You can also copy ASCII-armor encrypted key format to the app.

$ gpg --export -a D4763C61               # copy to the app
