Hey, I’ll need a bit more info to figure this out. From the description alone it’s hard to tell the cause since SSH failures can happen due to GLIBC, sandbox or Landlock, bastion hosts, install timeouts, and so on.

Could you please share:

  • The exact error message, or what happens when you try to connect does it hang, crash, or fail after you enter the password
  • Logs from Output > Remote-SSH via Command Palette Remote-SSH: Show Log
  • Which extension you’re using MS Remote-SSH or Anysphere Remote-SSH. If it’s MS, try uninstalling it and installing Anysphere Remote SSH, this often helps
  • Remote host OS and architecture Linux distro plus GLIBC version if you know it
  • Have you tried deleting ~/.cursor-server/ on the remote machine and reconnecting

With that info, I can check if this matches a known case.

Thanks
Uninstalling VsCodeRemote and Installing AnysphereRemote helped.
