Paste your link into the Link field, and enter the passphrase if the link is protected.

    If a valid link is present in the clipboard when the Connect to Shared Folder dialog is opened, it will automatically be entered into the Link field.

Click :guilabel:`OK` to connect to the server and start browsing, uploading, and downloading files.
