+    - Click "Session" in the top-left corner.
+    - In the Session settings window, select SSH.
+    - In the Remote host field, enter the cluster address (e.g., storage2.unite.uni-sofia.bg).
+    - In the Specify username field, enter your cluster username.
+    - Under the "Advanced SSH settings" tab, click "Use private key" and browse for the private key file you saved earlier (e.g., id_ecdsa).
+    - Click "OK" to save the session.
+  * **Linux**
+    - Create configuration file in ~/.ssh/config
+      <code bash>
+        Host unite.uni-sofia.bg
