Found it, when I installed a couple months ago locking down credentials under Manage Jenkins->Configure Credentials must have seemed like a good idea. Once I unlocked it, I can use it. Thanks for the response, it put me on the right track.

I’ve got a functioning install, and need a secret file to provide passwords to a build. When I access Credentials->System->Global credentials->Add Credentials, the “Kind” drop-down only lists “Username with password” and “SSH Username with private key”. Searching turns up a few hundred “it’s easy to use a secret file” articles, but all assume the option for a file is in the drop-down. Can someone point me to the relevant documentation?
