2. Existing server data, this is the recommended one for setting it up. If you choose this option your 'Base folder' is a dot, literally '.'
3. Remote URL template, if you want to clone from a recipe.
4. Custom template, not recommended for server owner's that don't have deep knowledge

To test if everything works try to connect via f8:
