Open and save remote notebook files without using VS code Remote SSH

Description

Hi, I'm using VSCode to write ipynb files but can only open and save them locally.
I wish VSCode can access and save remote files by remote jupyter server, as Jupyter Notebook in browser can do.

I've read the docs for remote SSH and remote Docker extension, but that requires remote VSCode installed and is inconvenient.

Your Jupyter and/or Python environment

• Jupyter server running: Remote, in Docker image tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-py3-jupyter
• Extension version: 2019.10.41019
• VS Code version: 1.39.2
• Python version: Python 3.7.0 64-bit in host, Python 3.6.8 64-bit in Docker container
• OS: Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64 18362.418

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just to be sure, you'd like to:

• Connect to a remote jupyter server
• Edit notebooks on that remote server
• Not have to install the VS code remote extension and open the remote file system

Yes, exactly. Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the feedback. We do not have this support on our backlog at this time.

Hi I am facing a similar problem. My team is using a remote JupyterHub without SSH connection. We can set up the remote Jupyter configuration and run notebooks with server kernels. However, we cannot manage the JupyterHub file system within VS code, nor can we use server kernels to run a whole repository locally. Is it possible to

1. make remote file management on Jupyter system possible, without SSH connection
   Or
2. make local scripts able to communicate to each other, rather than to the server files (in other words, we just use remote Python kernel and computation power)

Thanks

so there's no plan to support this currently?

We're looking into adding support for remote vscode without ssh in here #254
