Software Extensions and Plugins

Many editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) provide extensions or plugins.

    Visual Studio Code

    Modify the current settings.

    • Select the gear for Settings.
    • Select Extensions.
    • Enter Remote-SSH in the search bar.
    • Select the Remote-SSH extension provided by Microsoft.

    After the extension is installed

    • Select the blue remote connect icon in the bottom left corner of the VS Code window. (It looks like greater-than and less-than symbols pointing at each other.)
    • Select Connect to Host (Remote-SSH).
    • Select Add New SSH Host and enter the value username@csremote.skidmore.edu substituting your username.
    • Select a config file (often the top choice is appropriate).

    Once the config is saved

    • Select the blue remote connect icon.
    • Select Connect Current Window to Host.
    • Select csremote.skidmore.edu.
    • Follow the prompts to log in.
