| <h1>Connecting to a Remote RDT Server</h1> |
| |
| <p><b>Creating a connection from the Remote Systems view</b></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The <b>Remote Systems</b> view is by default part of the <b>Remote C/C++ Development</b> perspective. |
| To open this perspective from the workbench menu, click <b>Window > Open Perspective > Remote C/C++ Development</b>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Alternatively, to open the <b>Remote Systems</b> view regardless of which perspective is active; |
| from the workbench menu click <b>Window > Open View > Remote Systems</b>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In the <b>Remote Systems</b> view, click the <b>New Connection</b> toolbar button. |

| <p><b>Creating a connection from the RSE Browse Dialog</b></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Alternatively it is also possible to create a connection from the RSE |
| remote system file browse dialog. This dialog can be launched from the |
| <b>New Remote C/C++ Project Wizard</b>. |
| </p> |

| <p><b>Creating a Connection</b></p> |
| |
| <!-- TODO link to the RSE SSH page --> |
| <p> |
| Either action will launch the <b>Select Remote System Type</b> dialog. From this dialog you may |
| create a new connection. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Choose either Linux, Unix or Windows as |
| the server type depending on the operating system that is hosting the RDT sever. For MacOS X choose |
| Unix as the system type. Do not choose SSH, Telnet or FTP as the RDT server will not work with these |
| connection types (RDT requires a dstore connection). |
| To connect to an RDT server over an SSH connection see here. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Enter a name for your first profile and click <b>Next</b>. (This step only occurs if you have never defined a connection before.) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Enter a connection name. This name displays in your tree view and must be unique to the profile. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Enter the name or TCP/IP address of your server in the <b>Host name</b> field. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| (Optional) Enter a Description. The description appears in the Properties view after the connection is created. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <b>Next</b>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the second page of the New Connection Wizard click <b>Launcher Properties</b> under the <b>Available Services</b> |
| section. The properties section of the dialog can be used to specify if the connection is to a |
| daemon server or to a standalone (manually started) server. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <b>Finish</b> to define your system. The new connection will appear in the Remote Systems View. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| To activate the connection right click on the connection name in the Remote Systems view |
| and select <b>Connect</b>. You may be prompted for a username and password. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| Once a connection has been created it may still be necessary to define the port |
| and other <a href="editing_connection_properties.html">properties for the connection</a>. |
