Executing Remote Host Shell Commands

[cemalgnlts]

Hi,

I want to be able to execute Shell commands on a remote host without using terminal override.

I can manage files on the remote server, but I'd like to execute a few Shell commands as well. Is there a way to do this?

(I haven't tried the terminal override option, but I thought there might be a way for just a few simple commands.)

It looks like I've overlooked your message

There are very few details about your use-case. Don't you need to show the logs to the client? VSCode tasks seem suitable, but they rely on the terminal service override as well.

For example, cPanel don't provide full SSH access; you only get restricted access where only basic commands can be executed. Because the VS Code server runs in this type of environment, opening the Terminal fails due to an access-restricted method it tries to use.

What kind of "method"? is there any error?

Ah, I didn't word the last part correctly. If I recall, the VSC server was trying to access a folder like /proc on the server, but it threw a permission error, which prevented the terminal from connecting.

It's pretty weird that proc is not readable, a lot of stuff rely on it though 🤔

Yes, unfortunately, it was unable to access because I couldn't run the server with root/administrator privileges.
