Connecting to workspaces using SSH without the coder CLI #25525

Either I've missed something obvious or is it correct that there is no way to connect to a workspace using SSH natively? I know the general file transfer is possible by using the filebrowser module and the browser, but that would also imply having another tool to look over. |

Outside of the browser workspace apps you mentioned (there's also the web terminal), this isn't possible. |

Though I suppose there'd be nothing stopping you from writing templates whose workspaces make themselves available without the use of Coder's networking. |

Thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping I missed something, but the way coder is designed the current limitation "makes sense". |

You'll either need the Coder CLI installed for
coder ssh/coder config-ssh, or Coder Desktop for macOS or Windows, which makes your workspaces available system-wide via a.coderhostname.
