Remote SSH
Setup Visual Studio Code SSH Access
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) can work off a remote development server with these steps:
In VS Code, install the Microsoft extension 'Remote - SSH'
If your SSH server access is with a PuttyGen .ppk key, you may need to convert to the OpenSSH format:
Open PuttyGen.
Load the .ppk key using 'Load' button.
Select from top navigation > Conversions > Export OpenSSH key ( force new file format ).
When prompted save file: my-ssh-key.open-ssh.ppk to differetiate from existing standard my-ssh-key.ppk.
In VS Code select the 'Remote Explorer' icon in side navigation and select '+' to add a new SSH target.
