Restriction: This feature requires that
Visual COBOL Development Hub is installed on the remote machine.
- While in the COBOL perspective, click
File > New > Remote COBOL Copybook Project.
The
Remote COBOL Copybook Project wizard appears.
- In the
Remote COBOL Copybook Project wizard, type a project name.
- Choose whether to use a remote file system (RSE) or a network file system (Samba or NFS) to interact with the remote host,
then click
Next.
Restriction: The Classic Data File Tools do not work with files that are part of a remote project created using the Remote System Explorer
(RSE) connection type.
The Network File System (NFS) protocol allows a client machine to access files over a network connection in a similar manner
to how local storage on the client machine is accessed.
- Select the required project template, then click
Next.
- If you chose the network file system (Samba or NFS), in the
Location field, specify the path to the project.
Tip: Select
Use default location to use your current workspace.
- In the
Remote settings section, in the
Connection name field, choose the remote host.
Note: If the remote host connection is not listed when you click the
Connection name field, click
New Connection and use the
New Connection wizard to create a new connection.
- In the
Remote location field, enter the location of the project on the remote host. Click
Browse to browse the remote host's file system.
For a network file system such as NFS or Samba, the
Remote location value should be the UNIX/Linux representation of the path as specified in
Location. For example, a location of
X:NFS-mounted-drive location\project name should be represented by a remote location of
/home/users/my-folder.
- Click
Finish.
The project is created and appears in the COBOL Explorer.
