Remote SSH

Setup Visual Studio Code SSH Access

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) can work off a remote development server with these steps:

1. In VS Code, install the Microsoft extension 'Remote - SSH'

2. 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.

1. In VS Code select the 'Remote Explorer' icon in side navigation and select '+' to add a new SSH target.
