Since this does not work in VScode, what is the alternative method of uploading a file in VScode?

This piece of code does not work in Vscode:

# Run this cell and select the kaggle.json file downloaded from the Kaggle account settings page.
from google.colab import files
files.upload()

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In [2], line 2
      1 # Run this cell and select the kaggle.json file downloaded from the Kaggle account settings page.
----> 2 from fileinput import files
      3 files.upload()

ImportError: cannot import name 'files' from 'fileinput' (c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\fileinput.py)
