SSH Connection to Replit

How To
1

Hey everybody!
im trying to connect Cursor with Replit but the connection wont work. I created an ssh key and put it into the Replit SSH Config. After that i got the shell command in replit:

ssh -i %HOMEPATH%/.ssh/replit -p 22 30b5eb4a-ea4c-401f-9eed-8f551ffc6866@30b5eb4a-ea4c-401f-9eed-8f551ffc6866-00-1yd46okkcugaa.worf.replit.dev

Now i put that into the SSH Host creation in Cursor. After that when i want to connect. i get the following problem:

What is the purpose of doing this?

3

To use the features of cursor (like ai generating code) to put that code into replit automatically. I use replit as an easy to deploy online coding environment.

4

Any updates for a fix on this?

Same problem here on Windows 11

Can you share your logs?

7

This fixed it for me (perhaps formatting, perhaps the last line, not sure):

Host *.replit.dev
    Port 22
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/replit
    StrictHostKeyChecking accept-new

How are you able to connect without HostName? which extension did you install on Cursor?
I did the same and Cursor or even VSCode could not even find the configuration

I do get this error by connecting to my Replit:
Resolver error: Error: Remote - SSH is only supported in Microsoft versions of VS Code

It still does not work, any updates?

You need to put your username where it says your_replit_username

11

I got same error.

12

Yeah it’s not working for me either. Asks for a password. Tried a bunch of work arounds. The issue seems to be that clicking the “Launch Cursor” button in Replit opens cursor by default in the windows environment thus uses the C:/ ssh config file. There’s no real way to launch it into the WSL linux environment.

Using the manual connection route works, but then we can’t open the replit directory inside of cursor as a workspace

13

A bit silly… but I figured it out. Instead of setting up ssh in WSL, do it in windows regular file system (C:). I had some issue still with the ssh config file (IdentityFile) but just use “~/.ssh/replit”. Then add the public key to replit and copy the shell command to connect manually. Then go back to cursor and “connect with ssh” and add in the shell command and open in linux and it will open in WSL like you’d expect. Then open folder and navigate (in the replit server) to your project and open it.
