SSH Not Working with Cursor (But working with VSCode)

Bug Report

Hey all!
Love your product. I have my ssh configured as such to ssh into a remote AWS linux machine:
Host roxanne-m6
Hostname
User ubuntu
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/dev2023.pem
I have no issues sshing through my terminal or through vscode. And it has worked great for months with Cursor. However, in the past few days, when I try to ssh through cursor (the little blue button bottom left), I get:
[Error - 19:53:10.108] Error resolving authority
Error: Couldn’t install vscode server on remote server, install script returned non-zero exit status
at t.installCodeServer (/Users/roxanne/.cursor/extensions/jeanp413.open-remote-ssh-0.0.46-universal/out/extension.js:1:442023)
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
at async /Users/roxanne/.cursor/extensions/jeanp413.open-remote-ssh-0.0.46-universal/out/extension.js:1:404941

Tried removing my vscode cache on this machine and deleting and reinstalling cursor. But nothing is working :frowning: Any guidance?

Nevermind! Fixed by removing the .cursor-server folder on my remote machine! I noticed it’s not working for any of my remote machines either FYI so maybe an incompatible update? But the problem got solved.
