Click the "Key" Button for setting up your SSH Private Key

In the "Key Management" window, delete all of the current key's text.

In your PuTTy window, click and drag across the entire Private key text; this will "copy" to the clipboard.

Now select the NX "Key Management" window and press "Control-V". This will "paste" your key (copied from PuTTy window) into the "Key Management" Window. Once done, the key text in your "PuTTY" window, and "NX Key Management" window should match.

Click the "Save" button in the NX "Key Management" Window

Click the "Save" button in the NX "Advanced Configuration" Window. The "Save" button should grey out.
