| <h1>Local vs Remote Projects</h1> |
| <p>PTP can operate on both local and remote projects. |
| <p> |
| Local projects exist on the local machine (the same machine on which Eclipse is installed). |
| The files of a remote project exist on a remote target machine, which may be the same machine |
| on which the remote build, run, and debug happens, although this can vary. |

| (RDT) is part of the PTP Project and provides the ability for CDT projects to be located and developed |
| remotely. RDT requires a "Remote Provider" for its Remote C/C++ projects. |
| Two types of remote providers are currently available: <b>Remote Tools</b> and |
| <b>Remote Systems Explorer (RSE)</b>. |
| |
| You choose which of these your projects uses in the "Remote Provider" selection box of the New Remote Project dialog. |

| <p>The two types of remote providers currently available are: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b> |
| Remote Tools</b> is a light-weight ssh-only set of tools for communicating |
| with remote systems. It is part of PTP and is the recommended remote service provider, since it is |
| simpler to set up and contains all you need for PTP remote projects. |
| More information about Remote Tools as a remote service provider is in the section about |
| <a href="02resMgrSetup.html#remote">remote Resource Managers</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm">Remote Systems Explorer</a> (RSE) is part of the DSDP Target |
| Management project. It's a complete remote environment that supports a |
| variety of protocols. |
| (PTP pre-reqs should pull in RSE requirements, but you can also install it separately.) |
| The section on |
| <a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.ptp.rdt.doc.user/html/toc.html">Remote Development Tools</a> |
| is written describing the use of RSE as the remote service provider. |
| RSE may be used if your remote system does not use the ssh protocol for remote connections, |
| or you wish to use the additional functionality that RSE provides. |
