To establish a connection to a host using VSCode and a private key, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open VSCode and install the Remote SSH extension.

  2. Click on the Remote Explorer icon in the sidebar and select the "SSH Targets" tab.

  3. Click on "Add SSH Host" and enter the host name, user name, and port number.

  4. Under "Authentication", select "Private Key" and browse to the location of your private key file.

  5. Click "Connect" and wait for VSCode to establish a connection to the host.

  6. Once the connection is established, you can use the Remote Explorer to view and edit files on the remote host.

Note: Make sure that the private key file has the correct permissions (600) and that the public key is added to the authorized_keys file on the remote host.
