Fixing ssh remote access an rPi

Support Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Unlike VSCode, Cursor seems unable to ssh to a remote raspberry pi

Steps to Reproduce

Set up a ssh config with the target system you are looking to connect to.
Try to open ssh remote to that new destination and it will not work

Expected Behavior

Just like I can ssh to the pi from the command line, just like I can ssh to the pi from VSCode, I would like Cursor to ssh into the pi as well.

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Thanks for the report. Can you please try these:

• Upgrade to latest Cursor version
• Upgrade the Anysphere Remote SSH extension to latest version - this has fixed SSH connection issues for many users experiencing similar problems
• Clear remote server cache by deleting the .cursor-server directory on your Raspberry Pi (SSH into it manually and run rm -rf ~/.cursor-server)
