I am running a home server (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) and was just wondering if it is possible to open the client's VSCode instance through the SSH connection.

What I mean by is, normally you can open VSCode at the current folder location with the following command line:

C:\path\to\the\current\directory> code .

And I would like to ask if the same thing can be done with the SSH connection to the server and if so, how I should configure the settings.

Thank you!

There is an extension in Visual Studio Code can do that for you. It's Remote SSH

Here are the steps:

• Install an SSH client. This can be done on Debian-based distribution by using sudo apt install openssh.
• Install VSCode (You already have one)
• Install the Remote Development extension pack

Please refer to the docs for instructions for connecting to your SSH server.

If your SSH server is using key based authentication instead of password authentication, please refer to this docs
