When you add a new connection in **Connection Manager**, Visual Studio automatically detects the include directories for the compiler on the remote system. Visual Studio then zips up and copies those files to a directory on your local Windows machine. After that, whenever you use that connection in a Visual Studio or CMake project, the headers in those directories are used to provide IntelliSense.

> In Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5 and later, the remote header copy has been optimized. Headers are now copied on-demand when opening a Linux project or configuring CMake for a Linux target. The copy occurs in the background on a per-project basis, based on the project's specified compilers. For more information, see [Improvements to Accuracy and Performance of Linux IntelliSense](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/improvements-to-accuracy-and-performance-of-linux-intellisense/).

Remote Copy Include Directories | **Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5** A list of directories to copy recursively from the Linux target. This property affects the remote header copy for IntelliSense, but not the build. It can be used when **IntelliSense Uses Compiler Defaults** is set to false. Use **Additional Include Directories** under the C/C++ General tab to specify additional include directories to use for both IntelliSense and build.

Remote Copy Exclude Directories | **Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5** A list of directories *not* to copy from the Linux target. Usually, this property is used to remove subdirectories of the include directories.

IntelliSense Uses Compiler Defaults | **Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5** Whether to query the compiler referenced by this project for its default list of include locations. These locations are automatically added to the list of remote directories to copy. Only set this property to false if the compiler doesn't support gcc-like parameters. Both gcc and clang compilers support queries for the include directories (for example, `g++ -x c++ -E -v -std=c++11`).
