Answer 2

I had the same issue.

You've probably only installed the:

Remote System Explorer User Actions

1. Go to Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software
2. Choose the filter as Photon (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon) or any other version you're using
3. General Purpose Tools
4. Install the Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime.

tl;dr

You must install both:

 - Remote System Explorer User Actions 
 - Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime
