Vs.Remote

Visual Studio Code remote filesystem implementation with dotnet core backend, based on protocol buffers, gRPC and asp.net

Vs.Remote allows you to connect your Visual Studio Code workspace to a generic remote filesystem, where the backend is based on a custom dotnet core implementation. Visit the project page for more info on how to create a backend filesystem.

Configure the Visual Studio Code extension

After having installed the Vs.Remote extension, in order to configure the available connections you just have to add a "vs.remote" block inside your settings.json file with this schema:

"vs.remote": {
  "remotes": {
    "test_conn_1": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 5229
    },
    "test_conn_2": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 5229,
      "auth_key": "1234567890"
    },
    "test_conn_3": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 5229,
      "username": "guest"
    }
  }
}

Here test_conn_1 is configured as anonymous / unauthenticated, while test_conn_2 uses an authentication key and test_conn_3 adopts the username/password auth scheme; you can configure the "password" field inside the configuration file, otherwise the password will be asked by vscode as soon as you try to connect to that endpoint.
