Is it possible to upload files via sftp directly in the editor, with an ssh key and without a password?

Question

Visual Studio Code

I work with remote files using remote-ssh - everything is fine, and the terminal is nearby. and everything is clear and visible.
Only a small opportunity is missing - right there, without leaving the editor, by clicking on the desired folder, upload what I need to the server. Here is a download from the server - no problem, right-click on a folder or file and "download', but it's just as easy to download.
You have to do this in the sftp client, but I would like it directly in vscode, and preferably in the same window - otherwise there are sftp plugins, but one seems inconvenient to me, because it opens a new window, in the other I didn’t find how to register a key instead of a password ...
Surely there are, I just can’t find who uses what, tell me plz.

Remote-SSH is the official plugin, it installs the vscode application on a remote server, opens the terminal of that server, and there is the functionality to add files using drag and drop .
Alternative plugins connect the remote directory to the workspace without any integration, so some plugins may not work there (for example, which parse the workspace to provide the ability to navigate through it from when and highlight errors - the paths will be non-existent in the real file system), and there it is definitely impossible to upload files to a remote server, tk. vscode does not provide any data to developers there, I don't remember exactly, but there was an issue on the page of one plugin, where the developer responded like this.
