Error: Input File Too Short

[ToTheFarWest]

I encrypted a folder that contains all of my vital passwords using AESCrypt. The exact command I used was

Code: Select all

tar -cvf - Passwords/ | aescrypt -e -k ~/.FOLDER/nothingtoseehere.key - >Passwords.tar.aes

Now, when I try to decrypt is using a simple

Code: Select all

aescrypt -d Passwords.tar.aes

, it returns

Code: Select all

Error: Input file is too short.

. Any help?

How large is the output file? What's in it? It sounds like the file is empty.

It had a folder with multiple txts full of passwords. Sadly, the file appears to be empty. Ugh. Time for a mass password reset. Thanks anyway!
