Remote Access Guide

VS Code offers an efficient solution for remotely connecting to Linux servers via SSH directly within the application. This allows you to use VS Code on your local machine to edit and manage files hosted on Linux servers, while also providing terminal access to execute commands or run code. The following link provides a usefull step-by-step guide on how to set up this functionality.
