I had a remote ssh proejct. Then I updated and when I open my project again I get this error. failed to download VS Code Server (Server returned 404)
It’s trying to download a new cursor server and the new version doesn’t exist. It tries to download from https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/906121b8c0bdf041c14a15dac228e66ab5505260/cli-darwin-arm64.tar.gz That url contains the commit hash for my cursor version. So the url looks correct.
Here is the logs:

I am running cursor on a intel mac. The server I ssh into is an arm mac.
My cursor commit hash is 906121b8c0bdf041c14a15dac228e66ab5505260.
I have tried removing the .cursor-server directory on the server and reinstalling the remote ssh extension. This did not help.
Yeah, come on, guys… This is a recurring issue. I am on an M3 locally and trying to remote to a windows machine through SSH. I get:

I’m using 0.46.9, but have had the same issue on several other versions.
This workaround worked… SSH into the remote with your terminal and locate the cursor-<COMMIT>.exe and rename or copy it to a name with the new commit hash.

I should have copied it, so others with a previous version could still remote in.
