In my case I am using a pre-shared key and different port to connect, VS Code and the plugin took the additional SSH arguments without any issues. Click it the click the + icon next to the SSH TARGETS menu:Īn input box will open at the top of the screen allowing you to enter your SSH connection information. Now you will have a new icon on the left toolbar (just above the extensions icon in the image above). Click the blue Install button by Remote - SSH (not shown since it is already installed on my system): On the left toolbar there is an icon to search extensions, click it and search for SSH. In fact, the number of extensions available makes it one of my favorite development tools. There are a lot of REALLY good extensions available for Visual Studio Code. Lets get started! Install Visual Studio Code I am not going to claim that I am an expert on setting the system up but was VERY easy to do on my Ubuntu 20.04 based system. The Windows systems did seem to take a little more tinkering than the Linux systems did but they both work beautifully once they were set up. I have used these together on both Windows and Linux based systems.
