I'm using vscode remote ssh heavily and each time, I have to start it regularly and and run the commmand to start a new instance with Remote SSH
Is there a way to use some arguments to VsCode shortcut to start directly in Remote SSH mode?
Thanks
Found this link that includes a section about connecting to a remote from terminal (or using a shortcut)
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/troubleshooting#_connect-to-a-remote-host-from-the-terminal
SSH remote needs to already have been manually setup (ssh config file and public/private key).

I'm using vscode with the remote ssh plugin, I can connect normally, but I need that right after synchronizing with the server, a linux command is executed when opening a connection, that is, this command has to be executed, in fact it is a sudo, I need that it is already synced as root, thanks
My workflow is: I ssh into machine A from my local, then into machine B from machine A.
I wish to develop on machine B using VScode remote functionality but this two-level ssh doesn't look straight forward in VScode and a google search didn't yield much info on it either.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
The key word is ProxyJump here.
ssh hostb -o ProxyJump=hosta
For using it with vscode, you should edit your .ssh/config
HOST my_alias_name_for_host_a
hostname ip_or_hostname
user my_username_on_host_a
HOST my_alias_name_for_host_b
hostname ip_or_hostname
user my_username_on_host_b
ProxyJump my_alias_name_for_host_a
vscode will work without even knowing that there is an intermediate host
I have connected to a remote Ubuntu host from Windows using VS Code and using it for remote development. Often times I open different code repositories in VS Code but every time I have to open a different folder despite having the connection established the VS Code ask for password.
It seems that once we are commented to a remote host then successive opening of different folder from same host should not prompt for password.
Is there any setting I am missing or should do to resolve this or save password.
I'm assuming you're connecting to an ssh remote.
There are two ways to authenticate an ssh connection, via password and via public/private key. When using the latter you don't need to enter the password each time.
To use the public/private keys here's what you have to do:
You first need a pair (public/private) of ssh keys. On windows you can use ssh-keygen to generate them for you and put them in the default ssh config folder ( ~/.ssh/)
You then have to configure the remote server to allow your ssh key, you can do this in two ways:
with the ssh-copy-id command if available (I think on windows it's not there, but you can try)
by manually add your public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the.ssh/authorized_keys file on the host machine
Here's a link to know more about passwordless logins via ssh: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/passwordless-ssh
Open git bash on Windows
cd .ssh
ssh-copy-id -i id_ed25519.pub your-username#your-server
I'm trying to get Remote-SSH working with ssh-agent, from Windows 7 desktop to CentOs 7 server.
I'm using ssh, ssh-add and ssh-agent from the Git for windows package. From the cmd prompt, this is all working fine, I can "ssh-add -l" and see the keys, and I can run "ssh " and it runs with no problems and without asking for password:
C:\Users\gnb>"c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh-add.exe" -l
4096 SHA256:zg2IR6OlPwCGP8SzcbriXIQjth5zuDc9rbO6uaNPmcU gnb#VDI028-MEL (RSA)
C:\Users\gnb>ssh vdi ls
Desktop
tsclient
wkspace
C:\Users\gnb>
From within VS-Code, I can't get this to work. Running the exact same ssh-add command from within the VS-Code Terminal does not seem to find the agent:
C:\Users\gnb>"c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh-add.exe" -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
The actual remote functionality in VS-Code more or less works, but keeps stopping to ask for passwords.
What's missing here? Why can the vs-code environment not connect to the ssh-agent?
OK, I've had a few more hours playing around with this and I think I understand what's going on.
It only works from cmd if it is the same cmd window that was used to start the agent. Opening a new cmd window then ssh gets the same msg as starting vs-code from the menu - can't find the agent. It appears that the start-ssh-agent script that comes with git/ssh on Win7 is setting some environment variables or some such that the ssh client needs. This does make sense, Unix ssh-agent acts the same way, but I'm clearly not used to thinking about windows apps in those terms.
It also seems the start-ssg-agent script will set the environment variables to point to an existing agent if one is running, else will create a new agent. So a 2 line batch file
start-ssh-agent
code
will reliably start up VS Code with the ssh-agent. If you name the identity file in the ssh config, vs-code will add they key to the agent when required. Otherwise you need to manually add the key to the agent, or fall back to entering the password all the time.
Suspect the better solution is to be on Win10 and use ssh-agent as a service, which should mean VS-code should find the agent when run from a menu. But I can't test that.
Netbean is great and I use it with FTP remote connection all the time. However, one of my client currently only have a SSH connection. Is there anyway to connect to it and up/down files?
Like it was mentioned, SFTP is supported in Netbeans by default.
So select "remote connection" in your project's run configuration and use your SSH connection information (host, login and pass). You don't have to provide any private key file.
I've had luck using sshfs (ssh file system) on ubuntu. I create created a mount folder in my home folder and run the following
$ sshfs domain\\user#server:/path/to/remote/folder ~/mount/local-mount-point
From there I start a new (or existing) project in Netbeans at that local folder ~/mount/local-mount-point
For a nicer set up, do a key exchange between your local box and the server (ssh-copy-id) for password-less ssh connections. Then, put the above command line in your .bashrc file.
I do the same as Richard.
In general is easier just to mount the remote filesystem and use netbeans in the mounted directory.
I just do the following :
sudo sshfs -o allow_other root#www.khosmos.com:/var/www/html /mnt/droplet/
