+\b If your server is using the SSH 1 protocol, you should change
+into the \c{.ssh} directory and open the file \c{authorized_keys}
+with your favorite editor. (You may have to create this file if this
+is the first key you have put in it). Then switch to the PuTTYgen
+window, select all of the text in the \e{Public key for pasting into

+Save the file.

+\b If your server is OpenSSH and is using the SSH 2 protocol, you
+should follow the same instructions except that the file will be
+called \c{authorized_keys2}.
+
+\b If your server is \cw{ssh.com}'s SSH 2 product, you need to save
+a \e{public} key file from PuTTYgen, and copy that into the
+\c{.ssh2} directory on the server. Then you should go into that
+\c{.ssh2} directory, and edit (or create) a file called
+\c{authorization}. In this file you should put a line like \c{Key
+mykey.pub}, with \c{mykey.pub} replaced by the name of your key
+file.
