This app doesn't have any way to upload music and instead just expects that there will be a directory on the server containing music files. There are a couple of ways to get new music files onto the system: either by using ssh or by putting them onto a USB drive.

#+END_CENTER
** Via ssh
On your local system:
#+begin_src bash
scp -P 2222 -r ~/Music username@domainname:/home/username
#+end_src
This will copy anything files in your local Music directory to your home directory on the Freedombone system.
Now log in to your Freedombone system:
#+begin_src bash
ssh username@domainname -p 2222
#+end_src
And select *Administrator settings* followed by *App settings* then *koel*. Select *Import music from directory* then using up and down cursors select the directory and *press space* so that it appears in the selection box below. Select *Ok* and then the files will be moved to their final destination in the */music* directory.
** Via USB drive
Create a LUKS formatted USB drive. It's possible to do this by plugging a new USB drive into the Freedombone system then going to the *Administrator control panel*, selecting *App settings* then *koel* then *Format a USB drive*. You will need to specify a password, which in this case doesn't need to be anything highly secure.
Once the drive if formatted you can remove it and copy Music files onto it from other systems. Make sure the files are contained within a directory named *Music*.
Once you have music on a LUKS formatted USB drive then plug it into the Freedombone system. Go to the *Administrator control panel*, select *App settings* then *koel* then *Import music from USB drive*. Enter the password you used to create the drive and music files will then be copied.
** Synchronizing
To detect the imported files you might need to re-synchronize. Within Koel go to settings and then select *Scan*. Any imported files should then be available to play.
