Question

When connecting to a remote server, I don't see the older IDE versions. How can I install an old IDE build?

Go to the IDE download page that you want to use and navigate to "Other Versions". Direct link for IntelliJ IDEA.
Choose the required version.
Copy the link to the IDE installer archive or download the archive to your local computer. Please be aware of the OS and architecture of the remote server.
Open your local IDE or Gateway and follow to Remote Development -> SSH -> New Project -> Choose IDE and Project -> Installation Options and choose Use download link or Upload installer file.
Use the download link or the installer from step 3.

It's always recommended to use the latest IDE version on your remote server to have the best user experience and the latest bug fixes.
