A useful plugin is sftp which helps users to connect to the server with VS Code.
The config file looks like that:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
{
"name": "jason",
"host": "xx",
"port": 22,
"protocol": "sftp",
"username": "user",
"password": "pwd",
"privateKeyPath": "/Users/User/.ssh/id_rsa"
}
As to ftp-simple the config file looks like that:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
[
{
"name": "jason",
"host": "host",
"port": 22,
"type": "sftp",
"username": "jason",
"privateKey": "/Users/User/.ssh/id_rsa",
"passphrase": "",
"path": "/home/jason",
"autosave": true,
"confirm": true
}
]
The key point of running ftp-simple smoothly when using private key is that it is necessary to set passphrase in line 9 of the config file although its value is null. Or it will not connect the server with authorized failed.
