After the recent upgrade of Cursor, the Remote-SSH plugin is unable to enable. The issue seems to occur during the download of the Remote-SSH server, where there is no response. Below are the logs:
[10:46:32.120] [server] Checking /home/users/shiwei01.yang/.cursor-server/cli/servers/Stable-48d735e3dec42accfdf71efabf00bb49e242b880/log.txt and /home/users/shiwei01.yang/.cursor-server/cli/servers/Stable-48d735e3dec42accfdf71efabf00bb49e242b880/pid.txt for a running server...
[10:46:35.484] [server] Installing and setting up Cursor Server...
My SSH machines cannot access external networks, and I suspect this might be the reason. However, previous upgrades worked perfectly without issues.
Is there a way to manually download and install the necessary components to resolve this issue?

I am also facing the same issue,

Hey, I’m not sure if the Remote SSH server supports ARMHF Linux distributions right now!
This could just be that the wrong version is installed in Cursor, so try removing the Remote SSH extensions, and downloading either Open Remote SSH, or Remote SSH, whichever you find first!
Any update for this problem?
In the recent updates across multiple versions, I have not encountered the issue anymore. The machine I originally couldn’t download from was not allowed to connect to external networks. Therefore, I found a Linux machine that could connect to external networks, connected to Cursor, and then copied the relevant content to my target machine to resolve the problem.
I would prefer if the official team could provide a place to manually download the corresponding version components.

Thx, that really helps a lot!
After removing .cursor-server folder of remove server, I run this script again and it works. Thank you!
