Unable to ssh to remote server

Hey, based on the path /rdfs/home/kiyer/, it looks like your home directory is on NFS. That’s a known cause of timeouts when installing cursor-server.

Two steps:

  1. On the remote server, clean up old processes and files:

    pkill -f .cursor-server
    rm -rf ~/.cursor-server /tmp/cursor-remote-lock.* /tmp/cursor-server-*.tar.gz
    
  2. In Cursor Settings (JSON), increase the timeout:

    "remote.SSH.connectTimeout": 180
    

That gives you 3 minutes instead of the default 30 seconds. It should be enough for NFS.

A similar issue was fixed here: Issue with remote ssh.

Let me know if it still doesn’t help.
