Remote Server Support

RSS (Remote Server Support) provides transparent access to remote resources, including the upload and download of files. RSS helps you to create, view and manage your connections to remote systems such as FTP and SSH . This will allow you to work on projects with local files remotely enabling you to create, view and manage your connections to remote systems.

RSS enables you to perform the following tasks:

• Creating a Connection via the Server View - Create different types of connections, for creating and managing projects.

• Creating a New Remote Project - This procedure describes how to create a new remote project. Once the remote server has been set up, you can create a new project which will be synchronized with one of the remote servers.

• Downloading a Project from an Existing Connection - This procedure describes how to download a project from the server from a connection that already exists.

• Sharing a Local Project to a Connection  - This procedure describes how to share a project from your local server to a remote connection.

• Synchronizing a Local Project to a Connection - This procedure describes how to synchronize, download a local project from server and upload a local project to a server connection.

• Downloading Selected Files from a Folder - This procedure describes how you can import a partial project, ignoring any files that you don’t need and keeping them hidden on your workspace.

RSS is an upgraded version of the Remote Systems View that reduces the amount of communication between networks, by using less connection nodes. RSS also communicates less data, by directly transferring information rather than copying all of the files.
