SSH - Could not establish connection - Working perfectly 2 days ago!

Bug Reports
1

I’ve been using your app without any problems until two days ago. It used to work flawlessly. I’m able to log in to SSH through other applications, but for some reason, I’m facing difficulties with yours. As a paying customer who depends on this app daily for my tasks, this has been quite disruptive, and I’ve had to switch to other apps in the interim.

Error Message: Connection to “xxxxxx” could not be established.

Could you please look into this issue and assist me in resolving it? I would greatly appreciate your prompt assistance, as I rely heavily on the functionality of your app.

I have deleted and fully re installed a few times too.

I have also tried deleting the.cursor_server folder but get the same error as before, also its not creating any new .cursor_server folder now I try and update.

Really apologize about this. Am trying to reproduce on my end.

Though it doesn’t make up for whatever is going on here, would like to refund you. Just send the email that you used to pay to [email protected]

Could you paste the logs for one of the runs where the .cursor-server folder isn’t created? (Also, just to be clear, it’s cursor-server with a hyphen, not an underscore)
