These settings are all disabled by default because they make Lifeboat more complicated to use. However, they do each have a purpose, and so this is where you can enable these settings.

Allow temporary SSH Keys
Allows saving a connection without selecting a SSH Key. You will need to select a SSH Key each time you connect to the server. This is cumbersome, but keeps the SSH Key out of Lifeboat.db which may be desirable for a higher security environment.

Enable advanced Web App options
Toggles the environment variables editor and advanced options tabs on the Web App view. These tabs can provide more control over web app behavior, but aren't necessary for most cases.

Manual SSL tools
Toggles the Manual SSL tools

Show more details when connecting
Displays more specific status updates while connecting. Provides a little more feedback as to what Lifeboat is doing.

Skip Smart Upload file hashing
Activate this to bypass the Smart Upload system, which normally checks for unchanged files on the server before uploading. When enabled, Lifeboat will upload every file, every time, regardless of changes. This option can improve deployment speed for Web Apps with large numbers of files.

Write environment variable for deployment DateTime
Lifeboat will write an environment variable containing the Date and Time (in SQLDateTime format). The environment variable is named LB_Deploy. Optionally, you can identify yourself by leaving your username as well. The key for that will be LB_User if enabled.
