A VS Code extension that seamlessly opens Windows File Explorer from Remote-SSH, allowing you to reveal files and folders in the native Windows file manager with a simple right-click or keyboard shortcut.
Open VS Code in Remote-SSH - Connect to a Remote-SSH host.
Configure network path prefix - Set the remote-ssh-reveal-explorer.networkPath variable in the settings (globally or per workspace), e.g.: \\host.
Configure remote path prefix stripping - If needed, set the remote-ssh-reveal-explorer.pathPrefixToStrip variable in the settings (globally or per workspace).
There are two ways to trigger the extension:
1. Context Menu (Right-Click):
Right-click any file or folder in the VS Code explorer panel or editor title bar.
Select "Remote-SSH Reveal in File Explorer" from the context menu.
Windows File Explorer opens showing the selected file/folder location.
2. Keyboard Shortcut:
Press Shift+Alt+R when a file is open in the editor.
