Access key and Secret key are your identifiers for Amazon S3
Access Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Encryption password is used to protect your files from reading
by unauthorized persons while in transfer to S3
Encryption password: XXXXX
Path to GPG program [/usr/bin/gpg]: 

When using secure HTTPS protocol all communication with Amazon S3
servers is protected from 3rd party eavesdropping. This method is
slower than plain HTTP and can't be used if you're behind a proxy
Use HTTPS protocol [No]: yes

New settings:
  Access Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  Secret Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  Encryption password: XXXXX
  Path to GPG program: /usr/bin/gpg
  Use HTTPS protocol: True
  HTTP Proxy server name: 
  HTTP Proxy server port: 0

Test access with supplied credentials? [Y/n] 
Please wait...
Success. Your access key and secret key worked fine :-)

Now verifying that encryption works...
Success. Encryption and decryption worked fine :-)

Save settings? [y/N] y
