Hosts View

The Hosts view should let you perform actions on the filesystem of a remote machine without having to create a remote project. Specifically, you can:

  • Browse and manipulate the remote filesystem
  • Use some DataStore tools. e.g run a command on the remote host
  • File transfer


Client: connecting to remote machines

  1. Change to the Host Perspective (Perspective->Open->Other->Host)


  2. Click on the connection button at the top right hand corner of the Host view to create a new connection


  3. Fill in the information of the server you want to connect to:
    • Give any Name to the connection.
    • If you check the Work remotely box you would need to fill the Server section.
    • Specify either the "IP address" or the "hostname" of the server machine you would want to connect to in the Host IP field.
    • The port should be the same as the remote server (if you are running the DStore server) but it could be any if you are trying to connect to a DStore Daemon.
    • Check the box Connect to using daemon if the remote machine is running the Dstore Daemon and leave it empty if the remote machine is running the Dstore Server.
    • The Root Directory is the directory that you will first start browsing in the remote machine.
    • Click on OK



  4. Right-click on the newly created connection in the Hosts view and select connect To to try to connect to the remote server
    5. .

    Fill in your username and password. If the connection was successful, the connection name in the Hosts view would become expandable. Expand the connection and start browsing the remote filesystem
