I am using the SSH Remote feature in Cursor, but the download speed of the VS Code Server on the server is extremely slow. Is there an offline installation package available? My Cursor version is:

Hey, there are a couple of options depending on your situation.

  • If the server has internet access but it’s just slow, try increasing the SSH connection timeout in Cursor settings (JSON):

    "remote.SSH.connectTimeout": 180

    This gives it more time to download and unpack.

  • If the server is fully offline (air-gapped), there isn’t an officially supported offline install package for the cursor-server component right now. This is a known limitation.

Can you confirm if your remote server has any internet access, or if it’s completely isolated? That’ll help us pick the best next step.

Also, make sure you’re on the latest version of the Anysphere Remote SSH extension. Recent updates improved how it handles existing server installs, so it won’t re-download unless it has to.
