=== What is an Encryption Key? ===

The Encryption Key is a series of 12 to 24 words that represents 128 to 256 bits of entropy that is used to encrypt files before they are uploaded into the network. 

Here is an example Encryption Key:

If you're familiar with BTC, this will be recognizable as it's based on the [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki BIP39] standard.

You can also use your own encryption phrase.

=== How are files encoded before being uploaded to the Storj network? ===

'''''Note:''' For larger files the time it takes to do this preparation step can be more noticeable.''

=== Can I rename or move files? ===

'''Server Side Move'''

The new uplink binary has now a server side move command. You can rename a file or move it to a different folder or even bucket. Renaming a folder is not possible at the moment. We might implement that in a future release.

FileZilla doesn't supported this feature at the moment.

=== How many files can I upload? ===

There currently isn't a hard limit an the total number of bucket entries that can be added to a bucket.

=== Why can't I upload a file at the root? ===

FileZilla currently maps buckets as directories at the root level and each file within those buckets is a bucket entry. Sub-directories are created by having a forward slash in the bucket entry name, which are parsed and shown as a directory within FileZilla. For this reason, it's not possible to add a file to the root because there isn't a bucket to add a bucket entry.
