In the <\/span><\/span>latest version of Visual Studio<\/span><\/span><\/a>, users are <\/span>now <\/span>able<\/span> to <\/span>leve<\/span>rage<\/span> the integrated terminal to access their remote targets<\/span> when developing for <\/span>remote machines from Windows<\/span>. This <\/span>updated terminal<\/span> includes an interactive SSH shell.<\/span> I<\/span>t<\/span> can be accessed by going to View->Terminal in Visual Studio<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, <\/span>instead of <\/span>starting an SSH session inside of <\/span>PowerShell<\/span> or WSL and <\/span>having to re-authenticate<\/span>,<\/span> you can select one of your existing connections with one click<\/span>. The <\/span>integrated terminal pulls from the stored connections <\/span>established<\/span> in your Connection Manager<\/span>. You only <\/span>have to<\/span> authenticate once when you add a stored connection<\/span> and <\/span>the<\/span>n this authentication information will remain stored in Visual Studio<\/span>,<\/span> allowing for<\/span> less downtime spent managing SSH<\/span>\u00a0connections that have timed out<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Connection<\/a><\/p>\n

In the upper left corner<\/span> of the integrated terminal<\/span>, <\/span>you can click on the SSH<\/span>\u00a0connection selected and see <\/span>the profile <\/span>dropdown<\/span> entrie<\/span>s <\/span>available that show connections <\/span>enumerated<\/span> from your Connection Manager.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SSH<\/a><\/p>\n

When you click on a connection from the dropdown, the terminal will spawn a new terminal instance that will remain docked next to your current terminal instance in the tabs below.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the new integrated terminal now supports manipulating files, running background tasks, configuring your remote system, and testing your deployed code all from inside of VS instead of having to use an external SSH client. This terminal also supports color and command sequences, so for example, copy, paste, and find shortcuts will work, as well as interactive programs like vim.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
