Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

  • VS Code Version: 1.81.1
  • OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621 Steps to Reproduce:
  1. open two Remote-SSH and connect two different machines (remote A remote B).
  2. drag one remote A file to remote B. ( remote B have the different file but have the same file path)

I think vscode Remote-SSH should forbid file dragging between different machines. However if the file share the same path it may work.

remoteA:~/a.txt
image drag to remoteB image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the drag and drop behavior between remote SSH targets in the Remote SSH extension. Look into how file transfers are handled and where the restriction logic should be added to prevent cross machine drags that could cause data inconsistency or unintended overwrites.
