Remote-SSH broken

Support Bug Reports
1

Hey, folks. I am completely puzzled with this issue.

I am running Cursor on MacOS and developing on a remote Ubuntu box. Everything was working fine for a long time. This morning, I started getting an error when trying to connect to the remote host:

“Could not establish connection to 192.168.x.x: Failed to install VSCode server.”

I tried deleting .cursor-server and .vscode directories on remote, but it didn’t help. I am able to connect to this host from VSCode. I am also able to connect to other hosts from Cursor.

I noticed that the version of Remote-SSH in Cursor is v0.113.1 (which is very old), but VSCode is running v0.117. I tried dropping the latest version into Cursor Extensions, but it tells me that it is not compatible with VSCode 1.93.1.

This is extremely confusing. I tried reinstalling Cursor locally, but it did not help.

Here’s what I am running:

Version: 0.44.11
VSCode Version: 1.93.1
Commit: fe574d0820377383143b2ea26aa6ae28b3425220
Date: 2025-01-03T07:59:06.361Z
Electron: 30.5.1
Chromium: 124.0.6367.243
Node.js: 20.16.0
V8: 12.4.254.20-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 24.2.0

Please help!

Quick update: Open Remote - SSH” by jeanp413 works in Cursor. But again, Microsoft’s Remote-SSH worked fine as well. I appreciate any input on this. Thank you!

Hey, we should have an update to Cursor coming soon, which should up the version of the built-in Remote-SSH extension, so if you can, wait for that update and see if that resolves things!

Great, thank you for getting back to me. Will wait for the update.
