This can be solved by modifying the source javascript file of Remote-SSH extension

replace const i = “powershell” with const i = “powershell -NoProfile -”; at line 11819 in main.js at “/Users/$user/.cursor/extensions/anysphere.remote-ssh-1.0.13/dist/main.js”

Hi @jenishrudani98, thank you for your post – and especially the fix! We added the -NoProfile argument into version 1.0.14 of the Remote SSH extension.
