I want to connect to a remote server, I know the username and hostname, and I also have the private_key.pem file. How can I connect to this virtual machine using VSCode?

I get this error with the solutions on the internet, and that's reasonable because I have not imported this private_key.pem file anywhere, and I do not know how.

Permission denied (publickey)

Thanks for your help.

I use windows, but the remote machine is ubuntu.

Thanks for asking the question. You can add private key in ssh Open Configuration File of visual studios. Please follow the below steps:

  1. Open Vscode

  2. Press F1 and search for Remote-SSH: Open Configuration File

  3. Edit the file for adding new server and private

    Host name-of-ssh-host-here
    User your-user-name-on-host
    HostName host-fqdn-or-ip-goes-here
    IdentityFile C:\path\to\my\id_rsa.

  4. IdentityFile specify the path of private file.For windows use double slash.
