 # Remote Code Deployment
 
 Many modern IDEs offer ways to setup your project so that you can:
+
 - Use your local computer for editing source code, debugging, etc.
 - Run (deploy) your program on a remote machine, such as one of the servers.
 
 You are welcome and encouraged to use any such kind of deployment mechanism that is compatible with ssh (i.e., the main mechanism used to access the server, see ["Connecting to the Servers"](/connection).
 
-For people with access to `icaro.polito.it`, this automatic remote deployment is also helpful for working in folders that are periodically erased (see ["Storage Management and Quotas"](/storage)). In fact, most IDEs will automatically re-upload the local copy of your files to the remote machine if they detect that some files have been deleted.

 The rest of this page contains a short guide on how to setup remote deployment on the [PyCharm](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) Python IDE by JetBrains. Instructions are similar for other JetBrain tools. If you use a different IDE, it would be very helpful if you could prepare a similar guide and share it with the sysadmins to include in this page.

 As shown in Figure 3, PyCharm will let you navigate graphically the directories of the server and select your preferred Python path. For virtualenvs, the executable path is `<virtualenv-root>/bin/python`.

-**IMPORTANT:** since the virtualenv is not part of your Python project, differently from your source files, it will not be synchronized automatically between local and remote machine by PyCharm. This means that you should create your virtualenvs in a folder that will *not* be deleted automatically. This is especially important for servers other than philae, where some folders are periodically erased (see ["Storage Management and Quotas"](/storage)).

 #### Setup Automatic Synchronization of Project Files
 
-Lastly, you have to setup the automatic synchronization of Python files from your local machine to the remote server. In the window shown in Figure 2, select the option: "Automatically upload project files to the server". Then click on the folder icon at the right of "Sync Folders" and change the "Remote Path" to the location where you want your project files to reside on the server.

 #### Finish the Interpreter Setup
 
 Lastly, click "Finish" on the dialog shown in Figure 2 to complete the setup of your remote interpreter. You can now run (and debug) your Python code running on the server directly from your local machine, without the need of a permanent GUI session.
 
-Notice that remote execution is interrupted if you lose your internet connection to the server. So, for long-running programs, a permanent shell could still be necessary (see ["Connecting to the Servers"](/connection)).  However, this mechanism is very convenient for development, short tests, debugging, etc.
