1.0.0

Added

• Search on Host... runs grep on the host and opens a match at its line.
• Following works with whichever of a host's shells you are looking at, not only its first.
• Host Key... shows the fingerprint recorded for a host, and removes it when the host has been rebuilt.
• The multi-command panel suggests the commands you have sent before.
• New Terminal on a connected host opens another shell, split alongside the ones it already has.
• A log in Output → SSH Multi Connect, and Show Log to open it.
• A checkbox in the multi-command panel for the split terminal group, so it can be turned off without opening settings.
• A word of explanation the first time VS Code's split button opens a local shell beside a remote one.

Fixed

• A host whose ssh_config names its own IdentityFile authenticated with a different key: the path was replaced with this extension's own ~/.ssh/<host>_key convention.
• Every connection to a host asked whether to update its key. A host publishes several, and only the first of each side's was compared, so any difference in order looked like a change.
• Splitting a terminal with VS Code's own button failed with "Starting directory does not exist": the directory reports reached VS Code, which took the remote path for the terminal's own.
• A window title, which every shell sends before each prompt, could be held back and never shown.
• The line that sets up directory reporting was shown in the terminal.
• Following the terminal moved the tree's root to that folder, hiding everything above it; it is revealed instead.
• The split-terminal checkbox was stretched across the panel, pushing its own label out of view.
• Selecting a folder showed no details when du could not read part of it, though it had reported a usable total.
• A Match block was read as part of the host above it, so that host showed settings that were not its own — and rewriting it, which happens on any edit, deleted the Match block from ssh_config entirely.
• A test could fail for the machine's sake rather than its own.

0.0.10

This is a pre-release. Install it from the Extensions view with Switch to Pre-Release Version, or from the .vsix below.

Added

• Hosts behind a bastion, through ProxyJump and the ProxyCommand forms that mean the same thing.
• LocalForward and RemoteForward entries open as tunnels on connect.
• ServerAliveInterval, ServerAliveCountMax, Compression and ForwardAgent are honoured.
• Connect to SSH Host... in the command palette, listing every host with the live ones first.
• Edit Connection... on a host, for its address, user, port, jump hosts and key.
• Jump hosts can be set when adding a connection, and each credential prompt names the host asking.
• Optional password storage in the operating system's keychain, off by default.
• Drag files and folders from the desktop or the explorer onto Remote Files to upload them.
• Copy to Host... on a remote file or folder, copying it to one or more other hosts.
• Upload... on a remote folder, or in the Remote Files title bar, picking local files or a folder to send.
• Dragging a remote file or folder onto another folder moves it.
• Several remote entries can be selected at once, to move, copy, download or delete together; the File Details panel shows how many and how much.
• Download... on a remote file or folder, saving it onto this machine.
• Keep This Tunnel writes a running tunnel to ssh_config, so it opens on every connect.
• Remote Files can follow the terminal's directory, the other direction of the existing setting.
• An offer to move between the release and pre-release versions when the other channel has more to give.
• Connections that drop are rebuilt on their own, reusing this session's credentials and reopening the tunnels that were running.
• Run Command on Hosts... runs one command on several hosts and opens a report, grouping the hosts that agree.
• The multi-command panel shows the selected hosts side by side in a split terminal group.

Fixed

• IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 failed, because a leading ~ was never expanded.
• Hosts defined in files pulled in with Include were invisible.
• Disconnecting a host left its remote file list on screen when another host was selected.
• Creating a remote file or folder where the user lacks permission reported the error without offering sudo, unlike every other file operation.
• A connection killed by suspending the machine stayed in the tree looking live, since nothing probed it and nothing watched for it closing.

0.0.9

Added

• Windows support: terminals run over the extension's own SSH connection, so sshpass is no longer needed.
• SSH tunnels: local and remote port forwards, with start/stop and live state.
• File Details panel: inspect a remote file or folder, and edit its permissions and ownership.
• Right-click actions on remote files, including rename and delete.
• Retry with sudo when the remote user lacks permission.
• Badges for active connections and folder contents.
• Setting to follow the selected folder in the terminal.

Fixed

• Extension host crashed on activation.
• SSH keys without a passphrase could never connect.
• Key authentication connected to the ssh_config alias instead of the host.
• Only the first save of a remote file was uploaded.
• Live connections were dropped whenever ssh_config changed.
• Assorted tree view, cleanup and error-reporting problems.

Security

• Removed shell injection paths, and passphrases from the command line.
• Webview output is escaped and runs under a Content-Security-Policy.
• Downloaded files are kept in a private directory.
