open files locally when connected to a remote host #11

Open jemeyau opened 4 years ago

jemeyau commented 4 years ago

Remote host is running on Linux, and local host is running on MacOS.

There are some office files like .docx or .xlsx of a repository on the remote host.

Is it possible to open the files locally when connected to a remote host?

@youjh90 the extension only opens local files. I’m not sure I understand what you mean some girls files being remote?

Feel free to send a PR if you want so we can explore how this would work.

It gets inactive when connected do WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or other remote host. And does not installs in WSL.

Is it possible to make it open locally remote files?

@danb4r / @youjh90 - I'm not going to have time to look at this any time soon, if you can help out with a PR, please send.

Same here using SSH-Remote-Plugin and can not open remote files with local apps. Local OS is macOS, remote OS is Debian Linux. I thought this plugin is made especially for this use case. Local files can be opened locally anyhow. With remote files it would be a time saver.

Same here. Would be nice to open .docx or .xlsx files in remote linux machine using local ms office.
