Code Janitor

When addin' a new source or editin' an existin' one, the source editor gets its moment to shine. This lets you specify connection parameters to your network-connected storage service. Basically, it's a bunch of nerdy boxes. You're welcome.

Gimme a Name

Provide a title for your source so you can actually find it later in your sources list instead of scramblin' around like a lost puppy.

What's Your Jam?

Choose the type of service that you'll be connectin' to. Buckle up, 'cause here come the options that'll make your eyes glaze over:

• FTP or File Transfer Protocol can connect to older file servers. (Translation: the dinosaur option.)
• SFTP or Secure File Transfer Protocol is used by modern FTP servers to secure transaction via an SSH session. (Translation: FTP's cooler, more responsible older sibling.)
• Amazon S3 or Simple Storage Service is hosted by Amazon as a mechanism for storin' content for web services. (Translation: Jeff Bezos wants your stuff in a digital warehouse.)
• WebDAV or Web-based Distributed Authoring & Versioning is a file storage standard that allows network connected services to be treated like a local hard drive. (Translation: pretend your cloud is your computer. Adorbs.)

Where's the Thing?

This is the web address or IP address of the service. When usin' Amazon S3, this is the optional bucket to access in S3. (Congrats, you're a data cowboy now.)

The Folder Situation

This is the directory to use as the root of the service that is bein' accessed. Don't ask us why it's called a "root." Computer peeps are weird.

Lock It Down (Maybe)

Turn this on if communication should be performed securely. You know, if you care about that sort of thing.

Who Are You Again?

This section is used to configure authentication details that are used to log into the service. Basically, "prove you're not a bot." (Jury's still out on you.)

• Authenticate can be turned on if authentication is required for the service. When this is enabled, provide the username/password. Revolutionary concept, we know.
• Username or Access Key is used to authenticate against the service. When usin' Amazon S3, this is the Access Key for your account. Don't lose it or we'll all cry.
• Password or Secret Key is used to authenticate against the service. When usin' Amazon S3, this is the Secret Key generated for the account. Guard it like it's your deepest shame.

Bail Out & Share It

If you use this source frequently, you can export it as a file that can be imported into OnSong. (Share the pain with your friends!) By default, the username & password are NOT included in the exported file since the password is stored in plain text. (Yeah, we know it's sketchy.) Choose if you want to include the username/password & then tap on the icon on the right to choose an export location. You're basically sendin' your secrets into the world now. YOLO.
