Deploying SharePoint 2010 Package using VS 2010

Well today i created a solution package and tried to deploy it to SharePoint 2010 portal hosted in separate server.Though it sounds such a straight forward step, i managed to get a nice long error message stating :


Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': Cannot connect to the SharePoint site. Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project

So i was back to my favorite page "google.com". (Not sure what would have been life of a techi if search engines would not had been there ;-) .)

So i came to know that currently Visual Studio 2010 only supports deployment of packages to locally installed SharePoint instance.So no remote support yet.

if you want to deploy to remote server than there are multiple ways to achieve this one :
