Server...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> in the menu bar or by hitting
<keycombo><keycap>CTRL</keycap><keycap>F</keycap></keycombo>.</para>

+ <para>Remote connection details can be set up temporarily or permanently, depending on how they are
added to &app;:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>By hitting the shortcut
<keycombo><keycap>CTRL</keycap><keycap>N</keycap></keycombo> a
+ temporary connection is configured. That's why no connection alias is needed in this case. If you

+ <listitem><para>By adding a remote connection via the <guimenuitem>Add</guimenuitem> button in the
+ Remote Connections dialog (see above), the connection is stored permanently in this dialog. If you
+ restart &app; the stored connection is available again.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para>Currently, (&app; version 1.4) there are six different connection types available:

+ <para>Depending on the choice, different login details have to be entered in the

+ <warning>
+ <para>If you are <emphasis>not</emphasis> using GNOME Keyring Manager for authentication, the
+ password for a secure connection is stored in plain text in
