How to set R working dictionary to a remote server?

Question

I'm using R studio and try to connect to an office server using SSH. It's connected but my R working dictionary is still local on my laptop. May I ask how I could set the working dictionary to the remote server? Any advice is welcome. Thank you!!

You could write some script that uploads the files that are in git staging via scp. In PHP you could do something like this:

$rawFiles = shell_exec("git status --porcelain");
$files = explode("\n", $rawFiles);
foreach ($files as $file) {
    if ($file) {
        $filename = substr($file, 3);
        $command = "scp {$filename} [email protected]:/{$path}";
        shell_exec($command);
    }
}

and then execute this via CLI. It's a good idea to initialize all the variables above with parameters.
