Description-en: copy a secret key from GnuPG's gpg-agent to OpenSSH's ssh-agent
agent-transfer is a simple utility to extract a secret key from
GnuPG's gpg-agent and send it to a running ssh-agent. This is useful
for those who prefer the runtime semantics and behavior of OpenSSH's
ssh-agent, but whose secret keys are held in long-term storage by
GnuPG's gpg-agent.
.
This tool comes from the monkeysphere project.
