Recently, I made a script that archives important files with gzip,
encrypts them with gpg, usinggpg --symmetric
(which prompts me for a password), then
uploads it.
I was testing the backup on another PC, but cannot decrypt it, even when I supplied the correct password (copy& pasted from password manager). There was an error about half a second after and it failed with an invalid packet error.
How can I encrypt that file, so anyone with the proper password can decrypt it? I don't want to share keyrings as I've read elsewhere unless absolutely necessary, as it's another thing I need to think of and distribute and sync between my machines, including future ones. I would like to decrypt it with just a password.

The command is correct. Encrypt with:gpg --symmetric filename, decrypt withgpg --decrypt filename.gpg. What does your script look like? What command do you use to decrypt it?

What was the exact error? It sounds like the password was correct, but something else went wrong? If you don't specify a good--cipher-algoor use--force-mdcyou might default to not having any modification detection code. Are you sure the file was transferred unchanged? And +1 to DeathkampDrone's comments too

Okay, I was able to decrypt it and I can access the files, but I'm not sure if the backup is complete. While decrypting: "gpg: problem reading source (xxx bytes remaining) gpg: handle plaintext failed: No such file or directory gpg: decryption failed: Invalid packet". I'll verify if hash of the uploaded/downloaded file matches. I didn't specify any of these options, it defaulted to AES. Cc @Deathkamp Drone : I used the commands that you wrote.
