Deployment
On this page, create, edit, and delete server access configurations and server groups that give you control over interaction between WebStorm 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.
Toolbar icons and context menu commands
Use the toolbar buttons and context menu commands to manage the list of configurations and server groups.
The left-hand pane shows a list of all the server access configurations and server groups available in WebStorm. When you select an item, the right-hand pane shows the configuration details.
