protocol (SFTP), as specified by the \uicontrol {Upload files via SFTP}

If you have a lot of data to copy, select \uicontrol Details in the
\uicontrol {Upload Files via SFTP} step, and then select the
\uicontrol {Incremental deployment} check box. \QC takes note of the deployment
time and only copies files that have changed since the last deployment.
However, when you make major changes on the device, such as removing files
from the device manually or flashing a new disk image, or when you use
another device with the same IP address, deselect the check box once, to
have \QC deploy all files again.

To only create a tarball and not copy the files to the device, select
\uicontrol {Add Deploy Step > Create tarball}. Then remove all other deploy steps.
\uicontrol {Add Deploy Step} > \uicontrol {Create tarball}. Then remove all
other deploy steps.
The \uicontrol {Deploy tarball via SFTP upload} step specifies that \QC
uploads the tarball to the device and extracts it.
The \uicontrol {Check for free disk space} step is by default the first deploy step.
Use it to find out whether the remote file system has enough space left to deploy your project.
Errors due to lack of disk space can otherwise be hard to detect.

\note If the SFTP upload fails, make sure that the remote device has
SFTP enabled in its SSH daemon. Some versions of Dropbear that come
without SFTP support will crash when an SFTP upload is being attempted.
This is not a bug in \QC.
