protected-mode - encrypted mydata.tgz.bfe cannot be opened on the command line

[netnomad]

the bcrypt-encryption with the protect bootcode seems to be different from the bcrypt-encryption on the command line.
it's no problem to encrypt and decrypt files on the command-line with or without the option -c.
i tried many different ways and analysed the /usr/bin/filetool.sh, but i could not decrypt the mydata.tgz.bfe on the command line.
is it a bug that you can reproduce or could you give me a hint how you can decrypt the backup in the terminal!?

i get this error-message, although i used the right password (it's definetly not a kmap or password problem, cause i used a simple pw like 12345678 in my tests):
tc@box:~$ bcrypt mydata.tgz.bfe
Encryption key:
Invalid encryption key for file: mydata.tgz.bfe

is the command-line bcrypt different to the protect-mode-bcrypt?

i refer to the forum topic.
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=9241.0

i hope it's ok that i opened this new topic. the above url is a link to the use of encrypted backups generally and this is a topic to open an automatic used encrypted-backup that i want to decrypt manually in some situtations...

thank you for your help.

Why do you post the exact same problem, and refer back to the previous thread?
Your question has already been answered.

sorry, i thought it's ok, because in the thread i' ve asked a very basic topic, and afterwards the next theme was really specific.b but i think i was misunderstood.

but i think, that my question is not answered yet, perhaps i am wrong.

in my configuration
it's no problem to encrypt a file on the command line.
it's no problem to decrypt a file on the command line.
in protect-mode it's no problem to get an encrypted backup.
at the next start there is no problem that an encrypted backup is restored.

but i didn't succeed in decrypting mydata.tgz.bfe on the command line with bcrypt that was made as a backup in the protect-mode.

perhaps you could give me a hint, thanks in advance.

That is why it is called "protect". To minimize hacking attempts at the command line.
