The Remote Machine Tab Menu

• New Project: to create a remote project
  
• Open Project:  to open an existing remote project.
• Machine Settings: to change the remote server machine settings, which determine the behaviour of that specific server.
  
• Templates: to show the templates tree in a new window. They cannot be edited directly: since a template is composed by a definition file but also by some code (java or another language like python), it is easier to build the template locally and then, when it is tested, copy it manually to the remote server.
• Copy from local: to copy files/items from a directory in the local machine to the remote machine.
  It is possible to copy:
  
  • A project. In this way you share your own project with other users.
    After clicking on this menu you select in the Open Project dialog the .mxp file of the project to move (in the directory of the project)  and click ok. The project is copied to the remote machine.
  • A template. In this way you share with other users the templates you have written.
    The template must be a user template, i.e. it cannot be under the package/directory sys. This is because the sys templates are the system templates and should not be touched to avoid system problems.
    A user template is in general based on a script.
    After clicking on this menu you select in the Template Selection Dialog the template to copy and click ok. The template is copied to the remote machine, in the server's template directory.
  • A script. In this way you share with other users the scripts you have written.
    After clicking on this menu you select in the Open Project dialog the script file to copy and click ok. The script is copied to the remote machine, under the server's script directory.
