It also specifies that all file operations ( ssh://hetzner/some/file.js) are relative to the /root directory on the server.Ĭonfigurations are read from your global User Settings, the current workspace's settings, and any JSON files configured with nfigpaths. Due to me having loaded my private key in Pageant (PuTTY's agent), this config allows me to create a connection without having to provide a password/passphrase. This config is configured to copy settings (e.g. The config editors stores this, by default, in your User Settings ( settings.json) as: 'nfigs': [ The built-in config editor makes it easy to create and edit configurations: This extension allows mounting remote folders as local workspace folders, launch integrated remote terminals and run ssh-shell tasks.
