Thanks Fabio. I appreciate the answer. The important thing is that I now know what' possible or not possible so that I can stop banging my head against this particular wall. As I'm understanding it, Remote System Explorer (RSE) seems to be the defacto default way of interacting with remote systems. As such, I was hoping there'd be at least some minimal awareness, especially since PyDev supports remote debugging. It sounds from your response that most people develop their project locally, and then when they need to deploy, push the sources to the remote box and fire up remote debugging as necessary. In this case it would make sense that you'd have two source trees kept in sync. I guess I'm spoiled coming from the Microsoft remote debugging world. There, they have the notion of the "source server". When the debugger can't find a source file it asks the server for it, and if returned by the server, the debugger caches it locally. Timestamps and other tricks keep everything up to date. The end result is that remote debugging is very seamless if configured properly. I'll fill feature requests for RSE support.
