disabling on-the-fly TAR mode

I received this error message when trying to compile for the Intel Edison.
“File transfer errors detected. Try disabling on-the-fly TAR mode for this host in SSH Host Manager”

Hi,

Looks like the tar binary on the Edison board does not support all options needed by VisualGDB to transfer multiple files using tar. You can switch to the file-by-file mode via Tools->SSH Host Manager->(your SSH connection)->Edit->Transfer file groups using = File-by-file SCP.
