- | The //Password// box is for the password associated with the account. You are advised not to fill it in if you are going to [[session_configuration#stored|save the session]] to [[ui_login_stored_sessions|stored session list]]. If you decide to do so nevertheless, do not forget to force password storing on the //[[ui_login_save|Save session as dialog]]//. Also do not fill the password if you are going to use other [[ssh#authentication_in_ssh|authentication method]] (like public key).

With [[sftp|SFTP]] and [[scp|SCP protocol]], use the //Private key file// box to specify [[local_path|local path]] to your [[public_key#private|private key file]] if you are going to use [[public_key|public key authentication]]. The file must be in [[public_key#private|PuTTY format]].

If you have your private keys loaded into [[ui_pageant|Pageant]], leave the box blank, unless you want to ensure that only that particular key is used for authentication. | With [[sftp|SFTP]] and [[scp|SCP protocol]], use the //Private key file// box to specify [[local_path|local path]] to your [[public_key#private|private key file]] if you are going to use [[public_key|public key authentication]].
