VS Code File Sync lets you push any local file to a remote Object Storage Service directly from the Explorer context menu. The first release targets Aliyun OSS and guides you through storing credentials, choosing upload paths, streaming file contents, and copying the resulting public URL.
Key Features
One-click uploads – right-click a file and choose File-Sync: Upload File To Server.
Server profiles – securely store multiple Aliyun OSS credentials in VS Code globalState.
Smart destination picker – choose from the last 10 destinations per file or type a new Linux-style path.
Progress reporting – uploads stream data and track progress via VS Code notifications.
Result dialog – once OSS returns a URL, a modal dialog shows it with actions to copy or open.
Requirements
Visual Studio Code 1.73+
Supported Servers
Aliyun OSS
SFTP
COS(Tencent Cloud Object Storage)

Select Aliyun OSS and enter:
AccessKey ID & AccessKey Secret
Bucket name
Region (e.g. oss-cn-shanghai)

Command
Description
File-Sync: Upload File To Server
Upload the selected file. Also exposed via the Explorer context menu.

Upload Workflow
Server selection – keys under file.sync.server.* are discovered and shown in a QuickPick.
Destination input – a custom QuickPick lists the latest 10 destinations for the file while still accepting manual input. Paths are normalized to Linux separators before uploading.
Streaming & progress – FileSyncUtils converts the VS Code document into a stream, tracks bytes, and reports incremental progress.
OSS upload – the Aliyun client performs oss.putStream, then returns the public URL.
Result dialog – the URL is displayed in a modal dialog with “Copy Link” and “Open Link” actions.
