⚠️ DEPRECATED

This extension has been renamed and migrated to Remote Root.

What happens to my installation?

Version 26.10.3 is a final migration release. It contains no features of its own. When it activates, it:

  1. Installs Remote Root (rezbouchabou.remote-root).
  2. Uninstalls this extension (rezbouchabou.remote-ssh-sudo).
  3. Asks you to reload the window to finish the switch.

If the automatic migration fails, this extension stays installed and shows a prompt so you can install Remote Root manually.

Install manually

  • Search for Remote Root in the Extensions view, or
  • Run ext install rezbouchabou.remote-root in the Quick Open (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) prompt, or
  • Open the Marketplace page.

Remote - SSH users

This extension runs on the remote host, so the migration happens once per remote. Each host switches the next time you connect and the extension updates.

Settings

Settings under the remote-ssh-sudo.* prefix are no longer read by this extension. Check the Remote Root documentation for the equivalent settings and re-apply any customizations you had.

Issues and support

Please report issues with the new extension in the Remote Root repository. This repository is kept only for reference: https://github.com/rezbouchabou/remote-ssh-sudo
