| <h1 class="topictitle1">Remote System Explorer Connections</h1> |
| |
| <p>When you first open the Remote System Explorer, you are not |
| connected to |
| any system except your local workstation. To connect to a remote |
| server, |
| you need to define a connection. A connection is a TCP/IP network |
| connection |
| to your server, that enables you to access, edit, run, compile, and |
| debug items on the server. When you define a connection, you select the |
| type of connection you want, specify the |
| name or IP address of the remote system and you also give the |
| connection itself |
| a unique name that acts as a label in your workspace so that you can |
| easily |
| connect and disconnect. These actions are performed in the Remote |
| System Explorer. </p> |
| <p>When you open the workbench for the first time, you |
| need to define a profile, |
| define a connection, and then connect to a server. When you connect, |
| the workbench prompts you for your user ID and password on that server |
| so |
| that you can access the folders and files on that server.</p> |
| <p>Note: Make sure you have started the server programs on your |
| remote system. These programs depend on the kind of system you |
| are connecting to. See the appropriate tasks below for the recommended |
| ways to configure and start your server.</p> |
| <p>When you have a connection, you can organize your data using <a |
| href="cfilters.html">filters, |
| filter pools, and filter pool references</a>, which list a set of |
| folders and files from your server in the Remote Systems view. </p> |
| <p>You can use the Remote System Explorer to access files on many |
| kinds |
| of servers, such as Linux, UNIX, Windows, or your local workstation. See the |
| links below for information on how to connect to these other kinds of |
| servers.</p> |
