Go to File -> Open Folder while connected with remote

As your path in the text Bix and click open

again it will ask for your user password and the directory will be changed.

It's tiring but the only sol .

You can use terminal also to navigate to folders but it won't open folders in VScode but in terminal you can use.

terminal ->NewTerminal
