• Try to open the .zip file by double clicking and you should get an error as windows can’t open encrypted files directly.
• Navigate to My Client Groups -> Data Exchange -> Import and Load -> choose the file.
• Before submitting, review the parameters by clicking on Review Parameters.
• Choose the File Encryption as ‘PGP – Unsigned’ and submit the load.
