+A Repertory mount must be active with the `RemoteMount.Enable` setting enabled.
+`RemoteMount.EncryptionToken` should also be set to a strong, random password.
 
 ### Enabling Sia Remote Mount API on Windows Systems
 
 ```shell
     repertory.exe -unmount
-    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.EnableRemoteMount true
-    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.RemoteToken "my password"
+    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.Enable true
+    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.EncryptionToken 'my password'
     
     [Optional - change listening port]
-    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.RemotePort 20202
+    repertory.exe -set RemoteMount.ApiPort 20202
 ```
 
 ### Enabling Sia Remote Mount API on *NIX Systems
 
 ```shell
     ./repertory -unmount
-    ./repertory -set RemoteMount.EnableRemoteMount true

-### Skynet and ScPrime Mounts
+### S3 Mounts
 
-* For Skynet mounts, add `-sk` argument to all commands listed above.
-* For ScPrime mounts, add `-sp` argument to all commands listed above.
+* For S3 mounts, add `-s3` and `--name '<my config name>'` argument to all
+commands listed above.
 
 ## Module Environment Variables
 
-* To successfully complete unit tests, a `repertory` mount supporting remote mount needs to be
-  active. Set the following environment variables prior to running tests:
-    * `TEST_HOST`
-    * `TEST_PASSWORD`
-    * `TEST_PORT`
