[SOLVED] CLion IDE: Use ssh as an environnent toolchains instead of MinGW/Cygwin on Windows

Issue

I'm currently using CLion 2016.2 and I would to use ssh as an environment toolchains instead of MinGW/Cygwin on Windows. For instance, Pycharm already support remote location for an environment using a ssh location(or using a docker container) and it works well. I would like to known if such feature could possible with CLion or maybe on a later version?

So far, I see there's difference when trying to configure CLion Toolchains on Windows or Linux:

(The Windows Clion Toolchains Settings)

(The Ubuntu Clion Toolchains Settings)

Yet, I don't see anything about remote location such as ssh or docker to configure the environment, which would be particularly useful for Windows.

Solution

With CLion2018.3 or above you can do it:
