+remote - stage files from remote urls
+=====================================
+
+**Usage:**
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+   # Specify the remote source kind
+   kind: remote
+
+   # Optionally specify a relative staging directory
+   # directory: path/to/stage
+
+   # Optionally specify a relative staging filename.
+   # If not specified, the basename of the url will be used.
+   # filename: customfilename
+
+   # Specify the url. Using an alias defined in your project
+   # configuration is encouraged. 'bst track' will update the
+   # sha256sum in 'ref' to the downloaded file's sha256sum.
+   url: upstream:foo
+
+   # Specify the ref. It's a sha256sum of the file you download.
+   ref: 6c9f6f68a131ec6381da82f2bff978083ed7f4f7991d931bfa767b7965ebc94b
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``remote`` plugin is available since :ref:`format version 10 <project_format_version>`
