[plug] [newbie]how to use ssh-agent and ssh-add

[jhuniepi]

what i want is to connect to a remote pc using ssh client for windows (putty.exe) without using password. i generate key pairs using putty-gen.exe and save it. the key pair has a passphrase. i copy the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the remote machine. and when i ssh to that machine it ask for my passphrase. parang ganun din, wala ngang password, may passphrase naman.
now mikeski said about ssh-agent and ssh-add in his talk last plug seminar. now my question is how do i use those two commands? where do i execute it? i can't understand what's said in `man ssh-agent` and `man ssh-add`
