Sudo

[BernierCR]

Is this a similar or duplicate feature request?

• [ ] I don't know. I will go check it.
• [X ] No.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My project directory is mounted on an EBS volume which is only accessible through root. I don't think they want me changing this.

Describe the solution you'd like Is there a way for this extension to run sudo and gain root access, so that it can see my files? This is unusable for me without such a feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered I don't know of any alternatives.

Does this project help you?

• [x] Yes. SFTP IS AWESOME!
• [ ] Yes. I want to support you.

I confirm same problem. EC2 instance on AWS. I connect under one name and then I have to change it with su or use sudo, or I have to reset all files to that user.

I'd love this feature as well. Is there no workaround? I can't figure out any way to send sudo when using sftp on vscode. So, permission denied on all uploads

I have same problem. I tried 'sudo su -' command in 'sshCustomParams' parameter but It doesn't work.

non-working examples

• "sshCustomParams": "sudo su -;"
• "sshCustomParams": "\"cd \"${remotePath}\"; exec \\$SHELL -l\";sudo su -;"

I found the solution.

Just change the directory's permission and done.

I found the solution.

Just change the directory's permission and done.

This is not a solution but security thread. In most cases people have those permissions on purpose.

Hello, "sshCustomParams": "sudo su -;", works for me!

Adding to the documentation.

That solution is not working for me...

Anyway, when I'm logged using SSH and I prepend the "sudo" before the commands works. Do you know how can I adjust this param (sshCustomParams) simply to do that?

Thanks in advance!
