I've created a "C/C++ Remote Application" debug configuration in eclipse and am able to debug my application remotely. I chose to use the "SSH Only" connection option and noticed, as a result, a new entry was created in my Remote System Explorer (RSE) in eclipse. When I run the configuration the tool automatically deploys (sftp?) my binary to the remote SSH target - this part works great.
Is it possible to setup the configuration to deploy other files to the target along with my debug binary using the same (sftp?) mechanism?
My application opens files upon running and I'd like them to be present when the debug session starts. I can create my own separate ssh script to copy them over manually before the debug configuration is run - but I'd like to have an integrated solution that uses the connection entries that are already available in the RSE.
UPDATE1
I've come across this similar question, which also has no answer.
