Lecture mode: Send local files #2013

Need [low, medium, high]: low Requester: Students

(Please refer to Lecture mode issue #2007 for top-level discussion)

Initial plans revolved around students simply copy-pasting their code when displaying their solutions. For small tasks this should be just fine. Students indicated that they would like to see a feature allowing them to push local files to the session. This would be useful for the lab demonstrations mostly, but might not have much use in other use cases.

If the student drag-and-drops a file from their desktop into the solution (in VS Code), then it would actually upload the file to the host's machine. That way, they don't have to copy-and-paste the contents manually. I'm going to close this for now, since I believe it should unblock your requirements already. But please re-open it if you run into issues. Thanks!
