A needs to send/give B the ciphertext somehow, email, snail mail,
somehow, hand signals, ect... ;^) Then B, assuming that A and B have the
same secret key, can use said ciphertext to decrypt it. So, if you
notice the online program has a ciphertext only, without a link prefix.
Say this example: I am encrypting the message on my local host using the
default key:

 But how, for example, would you give me the secret key, from the USA to
Germany, without meeting in person?

Diffie-Hellman can establish a secret key in public. Then authenticate over an encrypted channel.
