visual studio code (vscode) is a popular text & code editor created by Michael H. Soft. you can edit text in it.

of note for this guide is its "Remote - SSH" plugin, which lets you edit files over a secure shell (SSH) session. for the time being, this is probably the easiest way to edit your pronounmail website.

using it is pretty simple:

Download VSCode

You can download VSCode from its website or using your favourite package manager.

Install the Extension

Open up VSCode, press CTRL + P and type ext install ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh. Hit enter and it should install the extension for you.

(I think there should be an image here.)

Connect to pronounmail Dot Com

the button in question

Click the little "Open a Remote Window" button in the bottom left of the window, and select "Connect to Host..." from the menu that appears. In the text box, type <your username>@pronounmail.com and hit enter. If you don't have SSH key authentication set up yet, you'll be prompted for a password.

Open Your Site

If all goes well, you should now be connected to the server[1]. You can now select "Open Folder" from the File menu, navigate to your site folder (it'll be called public_html) and edit away.

good luck!!!
