  remote computer that can run an SSH server. You can also
  <link xref="ssh-create#ssh-create-key-and-set-up">set up your SSH key for
  remote login while creating the key</link>.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Right click on the <gui>SSH key</gui> and select <gui>Configure Key
      for Secure Shell…</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the dialog window that opens, enter the <gui>Server address</gui>
      that you normally use to log in to the remote computer via SSH, and press
      <gui>Set Up</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
	  <p>The program will now attempt to connect to the specified
	  <gui>Server address</gui> with the entered <gui>Login Name</gui>. If
	  there are any problems in accessing the remote computer, a pop-up
	  window will appear that explains the problem, and you can try again.
	  Make sure that you have a network connection and that the remote
	  computer is on and accessible.</p>
      </item>
    <item>
      <p>If connection to the remote computer was successful, a dialog box will
      appear which asks for the <gui>Password</gui> you use to log in to the
      remote computer. Enter your password, then press
      <gui style="button">OK</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>You should now be able to log in to the remote computer via SSH without a
  password.</p>
