To change the connection type of a remote project

If you have SSH connection types, you can change the connection mode of remote projects from remote file system (RSE) to network file system like Samba or NFS and vice versa. For example, you might need to do this if you want to add your project to Subversion, which requires a Samba connection.

To change the connection type:

1. In COBOL Explorer, right-click your remote project and click Remote Settings.

   This starts the Remote Project Connection Details dialog box.

   1. To change the Connection mode to RSE, click Remote file system (RSE):
      1. If a remote file system (RSE) connection already exists, you can select it from the Connection name drop-down list. If there are no RSE connections, you need to create one. To create a new connection, click New Connection.
      2. In Remote location, specify the path to the project on the remote machine or click Browse to navigate to and select the directory on the remote machine that holds your project.
   2. To change the Connection mode to network file system, click Network file system:
      1. If a network file system connection already exists, you can select it from the Connection name drop-down list. If there are no network file system connections, you need to create one. To create a new connection, click New Connection.
      2. In Remote location, specify the path to the project on the remote machine or click Browse to navigate to and select the directory on the remote machine that holds your project. The Remote location value should be the UNIX/Linux representation of the path as specified in Local location.
      3. In Local location, specify the path to the project on your machine. This can be any UNC path. Alternatively, click Browse to navigate to and select the directory on your machine that holds your project.
         Note: Local location can point to a folder on a mapped or a mounted drive.
2. Click OK.
