Change default location of .cursor-server

How To
1

I need to change the location of where “cursor-server” is installed when establishing a remote connection. Currently it’s “/home/xxx/.cursor-server”. Is there a way to achieve that?

2

I don’t think so at the moment. Could you give more details on why you can’t write to ~/.cursor-server? If it makes sense, we could support this in the future.

I can’t create it because my department restricts the home folder to few hundred MB in size - it just doesn’t fit.

Here’s my workaround: create a directory at the target location and symlink it to ~/.cursor-server.
for example:

mkdir /custom_path/.cursor-server
ln -s  /custom_path/.cursor-server ~/.cursor-server
