How can I open files from remote ssh host in VS Code? How can I work remotely with VS Code and SSH?

[carloscabanero]

With an already configured host in Blink Shell, you can open any local or remote URLs, following the same format as SFTP/SCP commands.

code dev:~/projects/new

Make sure you introduce the key or password to access the files in the remote server. As this is a non-interactive session, we cannot ask for it.

If you are having issues, please make sure you can access the server through the Files.app as well. There are also logs at the .blink folder.

If you have enabled Files.app integration for the host, there is an even easier way to launch code. Just long-press the project directory or file, and tap Code!
