</p>
<p>
The Remote System Explorer perspective is designed to allow you to
manipulate the resources directly on the remote system. The
actions that are available depend on the type of system you are
connecting to and the way the resource is recognized. For
example, your selections can define
a filter string to find all files that match *.c in a particular
directory. </p>
<div class="p">When you access the list by expanding the filter, you
can see all the files that match that filter and you can perform
actions (such as editing, compiling, running, and debugging) against
these files.

Filters, then, reveal resources on the remote system. The types of resources
they reveal depend on the subsystem you are viewing. A file subsystem, for example,
reveals files and directories on the remote system. A process subsystem will reveal
running processes.
</p>
<p>
File subsystems are quite rich in their function. For example, you can copy files
and folders between remote systems regardless of the type of connection you have
to those remote systems. Just a quick note: if a directory is revealed by a filter, copying that
directory to a remote system will result in all the files in that folder being
copied, not just those that are revealed by the filter. This is consistent with
the way resources are managed elsewhere in Eclipse.
