The IDE provides a Remote Development Toolbar, for easier access to projects and files on the remote host. You can use the icons to select a remote host you have already configured and work on projects and files on the remote host the same as if they were local. This is known as full remote development.
To learn more about remote development modes, see the C/C++ Remote Development Modes help page in the IDE.
You can do the following with the remote toolbar:
Click the Connect Status icon to connect or disconnect to the server selected in the list next to the icon.
Click the Create Remote Project icon to create a new project on the currently connected host.
Click the Open Remote Project icon to open a project on the currently connected host.
Click the Open Remote File icon to open a file on the currently connected host.
