Hi @shuangzhou1028, this error indicates an issue that the ssh executable was not found on the path. On Windows 10, you may need to enable the OpenSSH client in settings – can you try these instructions? Enabling the OpenSSH Client (SSH) on Windows :: ASK US, University of Hawaii System

Thank you for your reply！
Actually, I had already installed the OpenSSH Client and had been using it successfully with VS Code’s Remote-SSH for quite a while.
I’ve now uninstalled the OpenSSH Client from Windows Settings and reinstalled it using the release package from GitHub. Now it’s working perfectly—although I am not sure why😅
