Netbeans remote deployment on raspberrypi returns “make: Makefile: No such file or directory”

[ghost]

• I tried to deploy a sample project following netbeans tutorial it returned followeing output:

  cd '/home/pi/Documents/netbeansProject/Welcome_1/'
  /usr/bin/make -f Makefile CONF=Debug
  make: Makefile: No such file or directory
  make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile'.  Stop.

• All that i got to know after searching about this is make is not able to find the make file named 'Makefile' but i already have it in the project in the 'Important Files' section. Still make cannot find it..
• The difference that i noticed from the tutorial is that i didn't get "Copying project files to..." in the output. Could it be that the Makefile never got to the rasberrypi and that's why it can't find it?
• I tried opening remote terminal tab and Netbeans gave error 'Local terminal is not supported on this system' even though i was opening a remote terminal. Although i can ssh into raspberrypi through local terminal easily. (Even with terminal provided in Netbeans)

endless version 3.8.0
netbeans version 11.3

So I did this and the issue is resolved

Project properties > Build > Build host > Host configuration check > Selected the host > Properties > Access project files via

and then selected SFTP(it was System level file sharing earlier) .

I don't know the difference between the two yet, but it worked for me. As i noted earlier, the files weren't copying to the remote host with SFTP.
