sftp root

ubuntu 22.04
vscode 1.90
extension v1.26.1

Im able to connect with terminal as user and then I can switch to root account with your extension.

Is there a way to do the same with folders?

As that description says, it should run cd ... first before running your sudo -i, I think the problem might be the -i causing sudo to switch to your home directory since you're asking for a login shell. I don't think there's a --preserve-working-directory flag or similar.

The extension currently replaces $SHELL with the auto-detected shell (usually bash), if it helps I could add another variable $CD or similar to allow you to do sudo -i "cd $CD; bash" or similar.

Thanks for your reply.
I meant mounting folders, not working in the terminal.
What I need is to connect to the contents of a remote computer using my user account, but I need to work with the contents as root. Similar to connecting via SSH and then running sudo -i.
For example, I mount a remote file system as the user "admin1" because root remote logins are always disabled, and then I want to edit the file /etc/sudoers, but for that I need root privileges.
