With the latest version of Visual Studio Code it's now possible to remotely connect to a Linux host over SSH and gain a full access to it. One can access all files and access the shell within the IDE just like the user were working directly on the remote HOST.
Users can conveniently forward local ports to the remote Host, that is, services running on the remote host can be accessed using the local computer.
In case the user is a full-stack developer, for example, developing with Angular 2/x and Django, the user is probably running the following commands:
- ng serve (Listens on localhost:4200)
