Remote file system operations

You can mount the remote filesystem in the VS Code Workspace. Once mounted, you have read and write access to the target filesystem from within VS Code. You can perform standard file operations on mounted files, such as cut, copy, paste, delete, and rename. You can also connect to remote cloud targets. Go to File operations for details.
