SSHing into remote machine fails

Describe the Bug

I’m using the latest version of Cursor (1.3.9). In the About section, it shows the commit hash 54c27320fab08c9f5dd5873f07fca101f7a3e070, which appears to be a VS Code commit. I noticed this same hash is used in the remote server setup — it’s part of the URL that attempts to download the VS Code server: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:54c27320fab08c9f5dd5873f07fca101f7a3e070/cli-alpine-x64/stable. But the URL returns 404. This results in failure to connect to remote machine, since vscode server installation fails.

Also, this is a fork of VS Code 1.99.3. No such commit exists in GitHub.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Setup a remote host.
  2. Try to SSH into the remote machine using extension Remote-SSH.
  3. SSHing into machine should fail.

Operating System

Linux

Issues SSHing into a remote server?

Hi @shindeshubhamm, could you try using the Anysphere Remote SSH extension? The VS Code remote SSH extension is not supported in Cursor:
