If you have generated your keypair directly on the server or your hosting provider has done it for you, you can download the secret key from the corresponding section of the AdvancedSecurity module configuration page. Enter the master password and click 'Download secret key'. The key will be saved as an .asc file. If you have installed GnuPG software on your local machine and used it to generate your private and public keys, there is no need to download the key.
