I followed https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y7f5zaaa.aspx and set parameters as specified

Setting

Remote Command => C:\remotetemp\myapp.exe

Working Directory => C:\remotetemp

Remote Server Name => remotemachine

Connection => Remote with Windows Authentication

Debugger Type => Auto //I tried native also but didn't work for me

Deployment Directory => C:\remotetemp

Any idea what might be missing here?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and got resolved by: It seems source machine (debugger) copies some files into the specified folder(c:\remotetemp) of the remote machine. Hence make sure that the directory has all the required access to create files.

Answer 2

I realize this is late, but i had this error and discovered its because my the remote system i was pushing files too was out of hard drive space. So make sure the drive on the system your pushing too isnt full.
