I'm using Mac OS and can succesfully connect via terminal and ssh to the host with the command
ssh -i ~/full/path/to/private_key name#ip
But when I try to use the exact same command in Visual Studio Code using Remote-SSH "Connect to Host", it returns me "Could not establish connection to "ip": Permission denied (publickey)".
How to fix it? I've tried to add my local public key to the authorized_keys on host, but it didn't help.
Ensure you have read-only access to the private key.
Run the following to do so.
chmod 400 ~/.ssh/<path_to_your_key.pem>
please try this..
After you click "Connect to Host", ONLY type in IP address (remove "ssh -i ~/full/path/to/private_key name#" from your example). It will then ask you to enter the passphrase for the ssh key. It should work if the passphrase is correct.
PS: Please also make sure you have the config information in the ssh configuration file ready. See details here.
For a node project I will have to work on a remote server and for that I will use filzilla for file transfer and ssh for console.
I use Visual Studio Code, I installed a remote ssh extension,
I did the hostname and user configurations as well as secretkey,
because before that I had another error The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe ,
which I finally solved but now after I start ssh and log in with the password in cmd from Visual Studio Code, I get this error bash: powershell: command not found.
I tried one day to search the internet for that error.

I've talked to people who have more experience but within the time limit my advice could be, but I still couldn't solve the error, either it's something from windows or ssh or I don't know.
You are the first time I try to do this in general I used heroku or aws that had some facilities.
I changed host machine in the settings JSON file windows to linux
When you got the option to Select Linux, Windows or Mac did you make sure that you know exactly the type of server you are connecting to. Bcs if you choose the wrong one this error gets thrown.
Im trying to setup vscode with the remote developement extensions on a second pc. While it works on my main one it doesnt on the second one. Tried reinstalling vscode, extensions and using older versions but nothing works.
When trying to connect it cancels after chosing the os. So I cant even type in the password.
I set it up in the exact same way as with the other pc.
Any ideas?

Depending on the system you are in, when you first try to connect, a vscode-server will be set up and configured on your server.
In linux that can be in /Home/<user>/.vscode-server
If you are on windows, check what that is.
The first solution is to try the extension command: Remote-SSH: kill VS Code Server on Host
Open the command pallet (CTRL + SHIFT + P or COMMAND + SHIFT + P (mac) ).
And type Remote kill :
Then try to connect again! (That will kill the server on the host! Which will make it start again on the next try)
If that doesn't work, and things are still failing:
Delete, rm
Then a good solution that can work is: to connect to your server through terminal (vscode terminal, gnome-terminal, whatever). Then go and remove /Home/<user>/.vscode-server
Try to connect after that. At the attempt the server will be re-installed completely anew, chances are it will work. (I did that and it worked for me, so whatever that was going wrong on the vscode-server: just start all over)
But again: you will lose things, config, meta data, etc. (because you start anew).
Update:
As stated by #natevw in the comments:
I found that removing only the .vscode-server/bin subfolder helped straighten things out and afaict kept my data/settings.
Removing only vscode-server/bin seems to work well, and the config, metadata, etc. remains untouched.
I downgrade Remote-SSH plugin to 0.51.0, rm -rf $HOME/.vscode-server on the remote machine. Connect again, VSCode will download and install a new .vscode-server. Then upgrade Remote-SSH plugin, everything works.
One way worked for me is, by adding this line in the vscode settings (JSON) file.
"remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false
I met the same problem. After I did these steps, it works:
on the remote server:
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server
rm -rf ~/.vscode
On the local VS code:
reinstall remote-ssh
In case all the above fails, here's how I fixed my issue.
First, I was able to SSH into my remote server (Ubuntu 22.04, Raspberry Pi 4, arm64) using a simple bash terminal. So I logged in using my terminal (macOS), and I went to
cd $HOME/.vscode-server/bin/WHATEVER-HASH-YOU-HAVE/
In this directory, there is a file named server.sh. I tried running this script, and I got the following error:
./node: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The issue was clear: there was a missing shared library on my system. Either Node.js now requires that or the new version of the SSH-Remote extension; I don't know. I did not spent the time to dig into those specifics.
But to fix that, I simply did:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
That installed the missing shared library.
After that, I delete $HOME/.vscode-server:
rm -rf $HOME/.vscode-server
and tried again connecting using VSCode. It worked!
Hope this can help someone like me, for whom all other options failed.
Issue: while trying to ssh connect to Linux(remote machine) using vscode.
Solution: remove/delete the bin folder inside .vscode-server and then reconnect to the remote machine
In remote server:
remote_name:~$ rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/bin
*reconnect to remote machine*
It turns out that my fish was a obstacle for vscode server.
Then I tried
chsh -s /bin/bash
And works fine.
I worked adding \\ in the path of the .config
I share the steps
Go to .config settings
select configuration
add double \\
Just deleted old host information from ssh settings file and problem solved.
I had faced this issue when I tried to connect to a Linux server from a windows laptop.
It was using the wrong fingerprint.
It worked for me after removing the line related to that server from $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
I ran into the same issue, it got fixed when I updated the path of the IdentityFile from 'ssh_key' to '~/.ssh/ssh_key' (the entire path I mean) so that the VS code could recognize it.
Restart remote machine worked for me (after trying all the previous answers with no luck).
Giving you the oldest trick of the book:
restart
It worked for me and I laughed hysterically for exactly 57 seconds. Happy reconnecting to the server my dear Coder!
I could not connect to the server, my issue was the remote server was full
check with the command df -h if the disk is full !
Here is an alternative for Remote SSH, pls check my answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68046111/13089935
TLDR:
We can use a web-based VS Code that is installed on the server directly.
I have VSCode with the extension remote-ssh installed. I connect to a remote host by username and IdentityFile.
To access certain files on the remote host, I have to switch users using su <user>. But when I switch users, I can only access the file in the terminal and not in the file explorer and therefore I'm unable to use the graphical editor of VSCode to edit my files.
You can modify your config file like this:
Host remote
....
RemoteCommand su otherUser
according to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/690#issuecomment-993857961
but remember to manually add
"remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true,
"remote.SSH.enableRemoteCommand": true,
to your VSCode settings.json file,
and remember to test the command su otherUser in ssh terminal and make sure it doesn't ask for a password (which will not work with RemoteCommand)
For me, I use RemoteCommand sudo su otherUser and disable sudo password for my ssh user.
Took me a while to search answers and configure, now it works perfectly.
If you have any other questions, go to the issue and read the thread.
I changed the following file in centos
/etc/sysconfig/selinux
and set it as
SELINUX=disabled
and run the reboot command.
but now I cannot login to my server. It shows the error
Permission denied, please try again.
when I login as a user and password.
How can I get back into my server.
Disabling SELinux and rebooting seems to set the UsePAM option in your sshd_config to no which explicitly does not work in RHEL:
# WARNING: 'UsePAM no' is not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and may cause several problems
If you are able to detach and access the volume externally, you can set this back to yes and should be able to ssh in again.
Ok. I got the solution.
when I login with domain after disabling SELinux lets say
ssh user#domain
I cannot login even with correct password
but I can login as
ssh user#ip
I don't know the reason but this actually worked for me.
