Remote ssh fails: Cursor failed to install the VSC server (using classic VSC remotely works though!)

And what are your error logs? The common reasons would be:

  1. The remote ssh extension is not properly installed. First uninstall, then delete the folder in ~/.cursor/extensions/NAME_OF_REMOTE_SSH_EXTENSION on your local machine. Then reinstall
  2. The device is out of storage. Try checking how much space is left on the remote machine
  3. Something is incorrect inside of ~/.cursor-server on the remote machine. Delete that, then try to connect via ssh again
