1. Download extension Remote-SSH in VS Code.
2. Press any button with what you think that you can connect the server.
3. Open the ssh config file, usually it is in C:\\Users\\<username>\\.ssh\\<config file>
4. Edit the file by the following format:

Host x.x.x.x:xxxx
    User root
    HostName x.x.x.x:xxxx
    IdentityFile C:\\Users\\you\\.ssh\\key

1. The process should be trival... However: https://github.com/microsoft/...

VS Code connect the server with the local username instead of the username specified in the config file!
What you need to do is creating a file with the name of the username used to connect to the server under C:\\Users. e.g. C:\\Users\\root if you use root to connect to your server. Then create .ssh\\<config file> under your new directory. Then you have C:\\Users\\root\\.ssh\\config to set up your ssh configuration.

Go to VS Code Setting, set the path of Remote.SSH config Fileto C:\\Users\\root\\.ssh\\config

Everything is done.
Enjoy your conding with Remote.SSH
