     When you run the application, \QC copies the necessary files to the device
     and starts the application on it.
 
+    For example, adding
+
+    \code
+      target.path = /root
+      INSTALLS += target
+    \endcode
+
+    to the project .pro file will copy the binary of your project to \c /root
+    on the remote device. Additional files can be deployed by adding them to
+    further targets and adding those to \c INSTALLS as well.

     The \gui {Deploy tarball via SFTP upload} step specifies that \QC
     uploads the tarball to the device and extracts it.
 
+    \note If the SFTP upload fails, make sure that the remote device has
+    SFTP enabled in its SSH daemon. Some versions of Dropbear that come
+    without SFTP support will crash when an SFTP upload is being attempted.
+    This is not a bug in \QC.
