Adding an Amazon EC2 Remote Connection Profile

This procedure describes how to add a new Remote Connection Profile for your Amazon EC2 Instance. Adding a Remote Connection Profile allows you to define the connection settings for a remote server, in this case your Amazon EC2 Instance, which you can then associate with your project. Adding an Amazon EC2 Remote Connection Profile is necessary before enabling Tunneling for Your Zend Server Amazon EC2 Instance.
Before adding a profile, you must set up your Amazon EC2 Instance in Zend Studio.

On Save - Data is transferred to the remote server every time you save your project or perform a change event. This option is only available for uploading data to the remote server. See Uploading On Save for more information.
