The **Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH** extension allows you to open a remote folder on any remote machine, virtual machine, or container with a running SSH server and take full advantage of VS Code's feature set. Once connected to a server, you can interact with files and folders anywhere on the remote filesystem.

Given **no source code needs to be on your local machine**, this approach provides dramatic performance and fidelity benefits over using network shares or synchronizing files.
14+
No source code needs to be on your local machine to gain these benefits since the extension runs commands and other extensions directly on the remote machine.

# Developing in WSL

The [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl) allows you to take advantage of a Linux based tool-chain right from the comfort of Windows. Historically Windows-based developer tools have had to interact with WSL through mounted file shares (for example `/mnt/c`). While this works in concept, differences between Windows and Linux can make this workflow difficult. Conversely, Linux-based developer tools do not work unless they are text based since WSL was not intended to house a full Linux desktop operating system.

The **Visual Studio Code Remote - WSL** extension lets you use the [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl) as your full-time development environment right from VS Code. You can develop in a Linux based environment, use Linux specific toolchains and utilities, and run and debug your Linux based applications all from the comfort of Windows.

The **Visual Studio Code Remote - WSL** extension allows you take advantage of VS Code's full feature set from anywhere in WSL - regardless of whether the files you want to edit exist on the Linux side or a mounted Windows filesystem. You'll have a rich development experience with IntelliSense (smart completions), code navigation, and debugging, while working on source code in Linux.
14+
The extension runs commands and other extensions directly in WSL so you can edit files located in WSL or the mounted Windows filesystem (e.g. `/mnt/c`) without worrying about pathing issues, binary compatibility, or other cross-OS challenges.
