Abstract
The capability to transfer files to and edit files in an integrated development environment is disclosed. The source files may be located on a remote computer system across a network, such as the Internet. The local system upon which the integrated development environment is executing and the remote system having the source files may have different operating systems, different geographical locations with different human languages, and/or different programming languages. The disclosure herein requests the source file on the remote system and then encodes the differences between the languages and/or the operating system by reading the extension of the source file. These encoded differences are translated when the remote file is opened in the local integrated development environment with an editor. The editor may be a LPEX editor if the files are members of an OS/400 operating system, or the editor may be an operating system editor for a file having the source file's extension, or a default text editor. The edited file is encoded for use on the remote system and then transferred to the remote system.
