Can I use VS Code to work with remote files? I almost always work with remote files for development at my day job and would like to switch to VSCode for its better JS support. Right now I am using SublimeText3 with the rsub plugin to edit remote files.
What workflow do you guys use when working with remote files?
- soulbadguy 10y agoThat's a good question. I usually use remote drives."sshfs" is usualy the easiest option to setup on a linux box. And when well configure the speed is great
- matt4077 10y agoI stopped doing that in the nineties. Are you working life on production systems, do you need some really special dev environment, or why wouldn't you work locally or at least in a local VM?
- jordwest 10y agoWe use Unison[1] to keep a local copy in sync with remote, then just pop open the local copy in any editor. It sits and watches both the local and remote filesystem for updates, it's fast and efficient, even in large projects. Downside is that it needs to be installed on both ends for the filesystem watching to work. [1] https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
