Visual Studio Code: How to open a local file in a remote session via its path?
I am working on Windows with a remote SSH session to a Linux environment in Visual Studio Code. Sometimes I want to open a local file from my Windows system in this session.
When I press Ctrl + O to open a file, Visual Studio Code offers me a button "Show local", which opens a file browser on my local computer to search a file:
Unfortunately it's not possible to enter my file path directly (say c:\myfile.txt). Obviously in remote setups only remote paths can be entered.
Is there some syntax or extension I can use to directly enter a local file path, without needing to open the file browser?
On GitHub I got a solution for this. Use the following setting:
"files.simpleDialog.enable": true
This does not open the native file browser on "Show local". Instead, you can search for the local file in the same manner as you would do for remote files:
