Such a connection is typically established on the same machine transparently, but with remote debugging it is established from one machine to another. One machine will typically be running the debugger and can be referred to as the server, while the other will be running the application and can be referred to as the client machine. Once a connection is established between the client and the server, all of the features of using a debugger function in the same manner.
