I want to upload my public key to a keyserver, that's quite easy. But GPG Keychain Access (german: GPG Schlüsselbund) just shows the (main) key-pair (public and secret in one). I'm not sure, which key will be uploaded. My Public and my secret key? My sub or my uib?
How I can can select and upload JUST the pub key?

Perhaps it's obvious for all other user, but I prefer to ask you, than revoke my key.
I use OS X 10.5 and GPG Keychain Access 0.8.13.

    Hallo Charlotte,

    das User Interface von GPG Schlüsselbund ist leider nicht immer ganz selbsterklärend.
    Dein Secret Key enthält deinen public key, deshalb wird dieser nicht nochmal extra aufgeführt.
    Wenn du den Key auf den Schlüsselserver rauflädst, dann wird NUR der öffentliche Schlüssel raufgeladen, alles andere wär natürlich fahrlässig :)

    As Luke has written, only public keys are uploaded to keyservers.
