I'm on the hunt for a program similar to Visual Studio Code that allows me to connect to a server using SSH. I specifically need a setup where I can manage files with a file explorer while also having a terminal open simultaneously. I've tried using mRemoteNG, but it doesn't offer a file explorer feature. I also gave WinSCP a shot, but it only provides file explorer capabilities, and I'm not a fan of its user interface. Can anyone recommend a tool that meets these requirements?

Have you tried the Remote SSH extension for Visual Studio Code? It works great for SSH connections and actually gives you a full remote workspace with a file explorer.
You could also look into using Code Server. It’s pretty neat and allows you to run VS Code in your browser while connecting via SSH for remote work.
Have you checked out sshfs-win? It's a neat tool that lets you mount SSH as a filesystem with the SSHFS Win Manager. You could use it alongside your terminal.
If you're open to alternatives, you might want to consider Notepad++ with the NppFTP plugin. It supports SFTP as well and could be just what you need.
Absolutely! This could fit the requirements perfectly for file operations.
Yeah, it's called Remote SSH! There are several Microsoft plugins for remote access, and they can really enhance your workflow.
