The New Remote Development Host summary page lets you specify some settings to be used in the IDE for the remote host.
Display Name. Type the name you want to display for this host. The display name is used anywhere the development host is listed in the IDE. By default, the display name is username@hostname, which indicates the user name you used to log in and the remote host name.
Default Tool Collection. Select the tool collection that you want the IDE to use on the remote development host. The options in the list indicate the tool collections that the IDE was able to locate on the remote server. If you know that a set of tools should be available on the host, but it is not listed here, you might need to tell the IDE where to find it after you finish setting up the host. See Configuring Build Tools.
Access project files via. Select the type of file synchronization you want to use to make the project files accessible to the remote server. If the local host and the remote host share access to the file system where the project files are located, you can select System level file sharing.
Click Finish.
The Development Host Manager dialog box displays the list of development hosts with the new remote host added.
Note: If the projects you build on the remote host are graphical applications, select the host in the Development Host Manager dialog and click Properties. Select Enable X11 Forwarding and click OK. This allows you to run the application on the remote host, and have the windows shown on your local desktop.
