If the project you want to work with is already on a distant server, you can directly load it on your local GPS.
To do this, use the Project->Open From Host menu.
Then select the server's nickname. This will show you its file tree.
Navigate to your project and select it. The project will be loaded as described
above, with all remote operations categories assigned to the selected server by
default.
You can reload your project using the local files on your machine. The remote configuration will then be automatically reapplied.
