The male octopus uses a modified tentacle (this specialised arm is called a hectocotylus) insert spermatophores (packets of sperm) into the female's mantle cavity.
The hectocotylus in benthic octopuses is usually the third right arm.
Males die within a few months of mating.
I have observed octopuses mating and they can be quite far apart while the sperm exchange happens.
