On this page, create, edit, and delete server access configurations and server groups that give you control over interaction between IntelliJ IDEA and servers. Anytime you are going to use a server, you need to define a server access configuration, no matter whether your server is on a remote host or on your computer. For more information about working with server access configurations and server groups, refer to Connect to a web server and Organize servers into groups.
