Re: [IBMiOSS] Why does VS Code for i require SSH when RDi doesn't?

AFAIK, RDi doesn't use any non-public API's or Services..

I suspect it's simply that VS Code already supported "remote" systems via
SSH.

Since the i has SSH, it was simpler to use that rather than a whole other
set of calls.

don't think Liam had access to those API's.
