Remote Development using SSH

I guess the answer is no, but is it possible to use remote development using SSH on the sites hosted by DW, like described here?

Developing on Remote Machines using SSH and Visual Studio Code

Basically we would like to automatically synchronize changes to the server when we work in Visual Studio Code.
And synchronizing using FTP is not a good option according to Reddit :P

Best VS Code FTP plugin? : r/vscode (reddit.com)

Hi Martin,

 

In our company we use JetBrains Rider. It's FTP capabilities are really nice and you can either manually do this, or have it automatically be pushed. You can also do this on Save or if auto-saving is enabled then it continuously does it. Not to mention it's own history (on top of version control) and can even compare with remote file prior to deploying (so if the file in the server has changed based on what Rider had been tracking it, it would warn you).

 

That said, it's not VSCode, so there's some costs associated with it, but we value a lot of the things it does differently, including the ones mentioned above.

 

Best Regards,

Hi Martin,

I've tested this using a gateway between the client and server with success some time ago.

But since we haven't had any requests for SSH before, I stopped to research how to set it up for partners. However, if you're interested, I can try setting it up for you.

Here are the requirements:

1. Dedicated server

2. Static IP for your connection (Needs to be added to our firewall)

If you have these in place, just email operations@dynamicweb.com with the solution name and the static IP you want to connect from. We'll take it from there. :)

Best Regards,

Dennis
