title: SharePoint -how to connect remotely to production server
body: <p>I am new to SharePoint development and have a question.</p>
  
  <p>I got that SharePoint development could be 1. artifact-based and 2. assembly-based. Also, artifact-based is done with Designer and supports remote connection to the production server.</p>
  
  <p>But what about assembly-based development -done with Visual Studio? Do we need to "copy" the required files from the production server to development server? Or is there any "hack" to connect remotely to production server with Visual Studio?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help.</p>
