Hey, this is part of an already tracked regression in anysphere.remote-ssh: Bug Report: Remote SSH extension v1.0.51 breaks Connect to Host. Version 1.0.53 just shipped and was supposed to fix it: Bug Report: Remote SSH extension v1.0.51 breaks Connect to Host - #18 by Colin, but based on your log you’re already on 1.0.53 and it’s still failing during the server install phase.

Can you reply in that thread under Colin’s post and say that 1.0.53 doesn’t help? That’ll help the team see the fix doesn’t cover this case.

For now, as a workaround, roll back to v1.0.50 and disable auto-update:

  • Extensions panel Ctrl+Shift+X, find anysphere.remote-ssh.
  • Click the gear next to the extension, then Install Another Version..., then pick 1.0.50.
  • In the same menu, uncheck Auto Update so it won’t update back.
  • Run Ctrl+Shift+P then Developer: Reload Window.

After that, Remote-SSH Connect to Host should work. If it doesn’t, send the full log from the Remote-SSH output panel.
