VSCode remote Jupyter Notebook – Open an existing notebook in a specific folder on Jupyter Notebook remote server

I can connect to a remote Jupyter Notebook server with a token from VSCode through the “Python: Specify Jupyter server URI” command from the Command Palette.

However, I didn’t find a way to do 2 things:

1. Open an existing Notebook on the remote Jupyter Notebook server.
2. Specify a folder to connect to, where my existing notebook resides in the remote server.

Is there a way of doing it?

Currently, VSCode doesn’t support this functionality. See this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/8161
