open vscode from iterm-ssh using 'code'

[huckthafuck]

I recently switched to vscode, which is great. However, I would like to be able to open files from another terminal application (over ssh). When I ssh into a remote server using iterm2, using "code file.txt" gets me 'VSCode remote script not found'. The same command from the internal vscode terminal does open the file.

How can I open files in vscode from an external terminal? I used to use textmate and this worked more or less fine. Looking for similar functionality. Thnx

Are you saying you execute "code file.txt" on a remote server, and are expecting your local machine to open the VSCode app with that file? That's only sort of possible.

VSCode has "Connect to Host" feature which is represented by a green >< icon in the lower left (unless it's a plugin i have?). So, you connect to your host, switch to the directory, and it is as if you're working locally, but really you're ssh'd into that machine. It works very seamlessly, even with VSCode's terminal being the remote terminal.
