RSA keys are not suitable for encrypting files. You can only encrypt 200 bytes maximum.

Could I suggest you look at PGP or GPG.

I've used both and they seem pretty good. The same design of a public key for encryption and the private key for decryption, indeed they may even be from the same source. I'm quite happy to be made to look foolish if this is true.
