VS Code Extension

Secure terminal workflows,
now inside VS Code

vsCRT (Vaulted Secure Console & Remote Transfer) folds your entire remote-access stack into VS Code — saved sessions in a hierarchical tree, one credential vault (OS keychain or portable Argon2id-encrypted bundle), SFTP browser, ProxyJump chains, and launch profiles. All one click away from the file you're editing.

Everything you need in one workspace

A full-featured secure terminal experience, built natively for Visual Studio Code.

Saved Sessions

Store and organize SSH, Telnet, serial, or other connection profiles. Reconnect to any environment without retyping details every time.

Tabbed Terminal Workspace

Open multiple remote sessions in tabs and switch between them. Monitor one server while working on another, or compare outputs side by side.

Folder-Based Organization

Group sessions by project, customer, region, or environment. Keep your connection list clean, scalable, and easy to manage.

Quick Commands & Snippets

Run common commands from a saved command panel. Perfect for service checks, Docker commands, Kubernetes access, and maintenance tasks.

Script & Automation Support

Automate repetitive terminal work with scripts and reusable task flows. Extend powerful scripting capabilities into a VS Code-first workflow.

Secure Credential Handling

Use secure storage for usernames, keys, and secrets. Eliminate unsafe practices like hardcoding passwords or exposing credentials in plain text.

Output Highlighting

Highlight important words, patterns, errors, IP addresses, or alerts in terminal output so critical information stands out immediately.

Workspace Integration

Open terminal sessions next to your source code, infrastructure files, automation scripts, and documentation. Less context switching, faster troubleshooting.

Team-Friendly Export & Import

Share session templates, command bundles, and environment definitions across teams while keeping sensitive values protected.

Your terminal and your code, finally in one place

Remote work has historically meant juggling two tools per server — a terminal emulator for the shell and a separate GUI for file transfer. vsCRT folds the whole stack into VS Code.

Stop switching between tools

Stop context-switching. Stop retyping. Ship faster.

  • Your saved sessions live in a hierarchical tree next to your code
  • Your credentials live in one vault — OS keychain or portable Argon2id-encrypted bundle you can sync across machines
  • Your SFTP browser, launch profiles, ProxyJump chains, and audit log are all one click away
  • Standardize remote access workflows
  • Improve operational visibility
  • Keep all engineering work in one place
