Terminal SSH

This extension allows you to easily establish SSH connections using VSCode's terminal.

Features

• Start SSH connections directly within VSCode's terminal.
• Connect by selecting hosts from your existing SSH configuration file (~/.ssh/config).
• Choose hosts from a quick pick menu or manually enter new connection information.

Limitations

Due to the limited functionality of VSCode's terminal API, there are several constraints:

• Terminal naming when splitting is only available manually.
• Terminal icon color specification is only available manually.
• The extension cannot monitor the status of SSH sessions.
• The extension operates within VSCode's native terminal, so it depends on terminal-specific settings.

Usage

1. Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P).
2. Execute the Terminal-SSH: ◯◯◯ command.
3. You can also select from the Open a Remote Window option.
4. When you connect to a selected host, a new terminal will be opened.

Configuration

You can specify a custom SSH configuration file in settings.json:

{
  "terminal-ssh.sshConfigPath": "C:\\tmp\\custom-config"
}
