UDP FS is a Visual Studio Code extension that implements a remote file system using a custom UDP-based protocol. It is designed as an alternative to the "Remote SSH" extension, optimized for unreliable or high-latency networks where traditional TCP connections may not be ideal.
Key Features
Uses UDP instead of TCP for improved resilience in unstable network conditions
Employs AES encryption for secure traffic
Requires a custom UDP server running on the target machine
Supports CTAGS to find function or type definition
Unlike SSH connections that might require a "Reload Window" after network interruptions, UDP FS Provider doesn't require it
