This will display a tree-structured menu in a sub-window and one of the items will be "Expo-uploads". Highlight it

<li>You will now be prompted for the password for the expo server. This is the "cavey:beery" one which we never write down or write in emails. Get it verbally or by phone or secure text message from another expoer.

<li>We have to check that the "Pageant" software is running, see the icon above to the left.

<li>
On a Windows machine, click in the lower QuickLaunch bar to see what's running. Can you see the Pageant icon? If you put your mouse on it you will see a popup label: "Pageant (PuTTY authentication agent)":<br>

<li>If you can't see the icon, you will need to start the program from your program menu. The image of the menu below is from a standard Windows 7 menu, if you are using a default Microsoft menu from a more recent version then in won't look like this (unless you are using Classic Shell):<br>

<li>Even after you have got Pageant running, it may still need to be told to load the key. It needs to know the private-key (the counterpart to the public-key you shared with the server). Click on the icon in the QuickLaunch toolbar and select "View Keys":<br>

If this window is empty, click on the"Add key" button which will launch a file explorer, use it to find your *.ppk file. Once selected the string should appear in the Pageant Key List window as shown above.
