You need to configure it in the options (Edit>Options>Misc...). Note,
though, that this poses a security risk if your computer has no firewall
enabled, or if other people can log in remotely.

ImageJA has a slightly different approach, which does not show the same
problems (but it did not work in Wayne's tests). Fiji has it enabled by
default.
