It would be highly beneficial if Cursor could support SSH access to Windows machines. This feature would provide greater flexibility and allow users to seamlessly manage both Linux and Windows environments. Since Windows now supports SSH through OpenSSH, adding this functionality in Cursor would significantly streamline workflows for developers and system administrators working in hybrid environments.
Please consider implementing this feature to enhance the tool’s capabilities and usability across diverse operating systems.
Hey, I’m glad to say we’re finally adding this in our next release (v0.45) which is slowly rolling out over the next few days!
Let us know how you get on once it’s available.

@danperks do we need to do something special to get this working since i am on 0.45.9 and i cant seem to get it working, is there a specific extension we need?
You will need the Remote SSH extension, which you can install by opening the Remote Connections menu and choosing Remote SSH there. This should install the correct version, and then you can connect to Windows from there!
Great it’s working now!
Thanks
Perfect, that seems to be working now, i noticed that the by pressing the Remote connections icon it dosnt download it, it gets stuck, but once i found the extension “Open Remote - SSH” in the extension list everything seems to be working, also noticed that the Remote - SSH extension from microsoft conflicts with the open remote extension, so remving the microsoft extension and then installing the correct one solved the issue, it was imported from vs code when i fresh installed cursor.
Thanks for the help!
