We have this problem using VSCode:
creating files using either GUI or console with VSCode gives them permission 644 (on directory it is 755)
creating files using Putty and by Windows CMD gives required permission 664 (and 775)
Considering this it seems like the problem is connected to VSCode and not the Linux settings.
We are using „Remote Development” extension (Remote – Containers / SSH / SSH: Editing Configuration Files / WSL also installed) to do this with VSCode.
System where the files are created:
Debian 9.12
Shell: bash 4.4.12
System where the VSCode is run:
Windows 10
version 1903
We have tried setting umask, but nothing changes.
Ok,
my friend found the solution (thank you too Abdullah Al Farooq - it was good starting point to where to look for - WSL indeed was the problem):
Solution:
run PowerShell (as admin)
type: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
restart system
This worked on two machines.

For me - it still was not working at this point. I had to make "clean instal" on VSCode because the umask was still setting to default 0022 every time.

After that - it works perfectly.

I'm using VSCode and the official remote-ssh extension.
I would like to be able to write code /path/to/file in an ssh terminal or in the vscode integrated terminal in a remote window in order to open a file/folder in vscode remote.
I am aware that I can use code --folder-uri=vscode-remote://ssh-remote+ADDRESS/path/to/file from the local machine's terminal, but I want to be able to run a command from within the integrated vscode terminal and any other terminal session where I've ssh'd into the remote machine)
Currently, if I run code from a remote terminal it opens up a new vscode window on the remote machine.
To achieve this goal, in the past I've used the following alias on the remote machine:
alias code="${VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE%/*}/bin/code"
Which looks for the code executable in ~/.vscode-server/bin/<COMMIT_ID>/bin before defaulting to the local /bin/code.
I got that alias from this related stackoverflow question.
However, this doesn't seem to work right now.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that there is no code executable in the vscode-server directory.
How can I fix this?
Both machines are running MacOS and visual studio code version f80445acd5a3dadef24aa209168452a3d97cc326, if that's relevant.
I also wanted to be able to run code from the integrated terminal when running VSCode with the "remote ssh" extension. In my case, the "remote" is a Linux box (named "aorus" below), and I want to use VSCode from a laptop running macOS (named "mbp").
As for you, I used to use the VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE trick. Recently, I had to change the alias since code (or code-insiders in my case) wasn't available in bin/ anymore. It seems it has been moved to bin/remote-cli. The correct alias (tested with vscode 1.64.2):
alias code="${VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE%/*}/bin/remote-cli/code"
If you also want this to work from other ssh sessions (not just inside the integrated terminal), you can create a short script that I called coder (r for "remote") which I have in ~/bin on my remote ("aorus"). Note that you need to be able to reach the local machine from your remote (I do that with Tailscale). The script looks like this:
#! /bin/bash
set -ex
remotehost=$(hostname)
localhost=mbp
cmd="code"
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
if [ -f "$1" ]; then
cmd+=" --file-uri \"vscode-remote://ssh-remote+$remotehost$(readlink -f "$1")\""
elif [ -d "$1" ]; then
cmd+=" --folder-uri \"vscode-remote://ssh-remote+$remotehost$(readlink -f "$1")\""
else
cmd+=" $1"
fi
shift
done
exec ssh $localhost -q -t -x "exec bash -l -c '$cmd'"
On my Mac, when running VSCode connected remotely to my Linux box, I can type this in the integrated terminal to open the file main.go present on my remote Linux box:
coder main.go
The reason I have to wrap code in bash -l is due to the fact that ssh, by default, runs in a non-login shell, which means that the ~/.bashrc on my Mac isn't picked up, meaning code isn't in the PATH. The error message looks like this:
bash:1: command not found: code
Another note: there is a shorter syntax documented here:
ssh -q -t -x mbp bash -l -c "code --remote=ssh-remote+aorus main.go"
I don't use this syntax is because this method isn't able to know whether you are opening just a single file (which should be open in the most recent VSCode remote session) or a folder (which should be open as a new VSCode remote session).
Finally, if you are using VSCode Insiders, you can create a symlink so that the command code works on your local machine (in my case, on my Mac):
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/code-insiders /usr/local/bin/code
As already explained by maelvls the path has been changed.
But if you use it outside integrated terminal you will got message
Command is only available in WSL or inside a Visual Studio Code terminal
To avoid this you need to export VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI in your .bashrc .
Use this script in your .bashrc
export VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=`ls -t /run/user/1012/vscode-ipc-* | head -n1`
alias code="~/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/remote-cli/code"
If you want to open your file in your current visual studio use -r option.
code -r tes.txt
Note :
I can't call VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE so I use full path, it is working well
I don't know if VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI will show in different location, just check it in your integrated terminal visual studio code

Can someone help me please ?
Thanks in advance
Fixed it
Open VS Code on Windows
Open Extensions and then search on WSL
It should say the extension needs to be reloaded - go ahead and reload it
Open WSL and type code
This should force another upgrade of code and this time it should launch.
I just now had the same issue on WSL2 Kali. I tried everything given here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/2962.
My problem was VS Code was not on Kali's path. Here's how I fixed it :)
echo $PATH
# Confirm PATH is missing this:
/mnt/c/Users/wcd/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/
# Confirm VS Code's location then export:
export PATH=$PATH:"/mnt/c/Users/wcd/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/"
# It's temporarily added to path...
echo $PATH
# This should now trigger VS Code Server install,
# then open ~/ in VS Code.
code .
# If above works, make it permanent:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:"/mnt/c/Users/wcd/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/"' >> ~/.bashrc
# Restart shell + test
exec "$SHELL"
code .
I solved this problem by opening windows powershell in admin mode and typing the following command:
wsl --update
Then I typed this command to force restart the WSL and all done
wsl --shutdown
I have same issue when I trying export my old wsl and move whole project to nvme ssd using new distro.
I able to run the code . on root , but when i switch to my name then it doesn't work, I guess is WSL PATH problem.
I not really familiar to the linux, the below image may easier for you to understand what i am saying.
When i use echo $PATH on wsl to compare root and my account, and i notice that VS code directory only found on root instead of my account.
So i use export PATH=$PATH:"/mnt/c/Users/ricso/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin" to add the VS Code path to my account* and code . is working once i export this.
But the code . will not be able to run again if you restart the wsl, so we need to put in to bashrc.
But when i try to update my account's* PATH using
echo "PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Users/ricso/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft\ VS\ Code/bin" >> ~/.bashrc and restart the wsl to login my account, i notice an error msg popup when run the code .
cannot create /tmp/remote-wsl-loc.txt: Permission denied
And i found this.
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/5389
Seem they only giving the workaround for now and hopefully can fix it soon.
*disclaimer above: this code need to run under your account instead of root
**For editing bashrc, instead of using echo and >> write to the file, you also can use code ~/.bashrc to update/edit, when you have the vscode access on wsl.
This also happens if you disable the Windows PATH on WSL. I had my VS Code working fine, then when I disable the windows PATH (by editing/creating the /etc/wsl.conf file and inserting the [interop] appendWindowsPath = false parameter) the code command stopped working.
The ek1n8 solution solves my problem, addind the export manually to the WSL Path:
export PATH=$PATH:"/mnt/c/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin"
For me adding the binary to Path was enough:
export PATH=$PATH:"/mnt/c/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin"
For me it was wsl using the wrong container:
wsl --list -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* docker-desktop-data Stopped 2
Ubuntu Running 2
I did wsl -s ubuntu
wsl --list -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Running 2
docker-desktop-data Stopped 2
and it solved the problem
I have the case that I need to use VS Code installed on Windows 10 and run it with the extension Remote - SSH on a RHEL 7.x.
The default RHEL 7.x runs with git 1.8.x. I have installed a newer git version but this is not in the default $PATH environment.
I have found this instructions https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/wsl#_advanced-environment-setup-script which describe how to set the environment variables specifically for VS Code when usind WSL.
If you want to run additional commands or modify the environment this can be done in a setup script ~/.vscode-server/server-env-setup
This does seem to work only if you use WSL. Why does this not work with the Remote - SSH extension?
My special case is that I only want and need the git>=2 while usind VS Code. When I am connected regularly via ssh I would like and need the OS default tools and settings.
This gives me the special request that I don't want to edit the ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc or any other user environment files.
I would like to be able to edit the environment for VS Code only. Some kind, maybe like:
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/opt/rh/rh-git29/root/usr/bin\:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
...
#!/bin/csh
setenv PATH /opt/rh/rh-git29/root/usr/bin\:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
...
Is there anything I have not found yet where I can make my requests to work or would this be some kind of request to the VS Code Team?
Regards.
I think I found the solution in this issue comment and the follow-up response:
When vscode-server initially starts, it uses a login shell, sourcing .profile in your home directory.
However, any following interactive shells started through VS Code are non-login shells and thus only source .bashrc
A complication in fiddling with this is that vscode-server apparently caches the environment during its lifetimes, so changes to these dotfiles don't become visible until the server is restarted.
I have a better solution to minimize the proxy scope
export http_proxy=<proxy here>
export no_proxy=<no proxy here>
while IFS= read -r _file; do
if ! grep -s -q "export http_proxy=" "${_file}"; then
sed -i -e "/^ROOT/i export http_proxy=${http_proxy}" -e "/^ROOT/i export https_proxy=${http_proxy}" -e "/^ROOT/i export no_proxy=${no_proxy}" "${_file}"
fi
done < <(find ~/.vscode-server/bin -type f -name "server.sh")
I am new to WSL and have installed VS code natively on Windows 10 with the installer. Currently, when I try to run VS Code command code from WSL, I receive the following message:
bash: /mnt/c/Users/user/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code: Permission denied
Also, when I try to run VS Code Server for WSL, I am getting a similar message.

[2020-06-29 17:41:41.780] VS Code Server for WSL closed unexpectedly.
I have tried configuring the permissions for wsl # wsl.conf:
[automount]
enabled = true
options = "uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,fmask=11,metadata"
Not sure if this is relevant, but I am able to run code from Windows Powershell.
I am currently using Microsoft Windows 1909 (OS Build 18363.836) with WSL v1.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Run wsl.exe or PowerShell as an Administrator Runs as Admin Windows
None of the previous answers worked for me. Instead after a lot of trial and error, I discovered that the code.exe was set in a way that it was being run as Administrator. This is what prevented it from running in the WSL. Find the VC Code executable, and ensure it doesn't have the admin Shield on it's icon.
It has to do with your /etc/wsl.conf. Change the contents of the file to:
[automount]
enabled=true
root = /
options="metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002,dmask=002,fmask=002"
umask,dmask, and fmask all have to do with permissions. A pretty good explanation of them can be found here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/429848/dmask-and-fmask-mount-options#:~:text=fmask%20and%20dmask%20are%20mount,files%20and%20dmask%20to%20directories
Maybe for someone will helpfull...
For example i have mistake like this:
$ code .
/c/Users/admin/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code: line 61: /c/Users/admin/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe: Permission denied
My error resolving was by click right button mouse on icon VS Code and chosen settings then "compatibility" tab and finaly disabled "run the program as an administrator"
I solved it by putting my Ubuntu user in the www-data group. I edited the /etc/group. That www-data group is the one in my configuration belongs to Apache2. Hope this helps.
When I try to execute code from WSL, like this:
cmd.exe
wsl code .
I get the following error:
/bin/bash: code: command not found
However, if I execute the same command but first run cmd.exe as an Administrator, vscode opens as expected.
The question is why "code" is not recognizable when I run as non-admin, and how can I solve it?
Additional info:
WSL2 version 41959
vscode version 1.38
vscode Remote WSL extension version 0.39.5
As #Biswapriyo mentioned, this is an open bug where WSL cannot access Windows C drive.
Workaround that helped me is to restart WSL like this:
wsl --shutdown
wsl
Open the PowerShell administrator window
wsl --list --version
Show as wsl 2
Enter the Linux console
wsl
Change related files' rights
chmod u+x vscode_dir/code.exe
chmod u+x vscode_dir/bin/code
Create symbolic link
ln -s vscode_dir/bin/code code
mv code ~/.local/bin
Modify .bashrc, add a line as follows:
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
source .bashrc or restart terminal.
Then you can happily play code in wsl2-ubuntu environment or terminal of VSCode.
My problem was that I was using the root user after running sudo -i. Exiting and using my normal user on WSL solved the error.
In my case I am using Debian and echo %PATH% did not output anything.
I used the second part of suggested solution from resolved github issue
For Debian, /etc/profile contributed to this problem.
Here is the path definition in /etc/profile
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
else
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
fi
Option 1:
You can delete above lines, then wsl --shutdown to restart Debian.
Option 2:
If you would like to keep these lines, you can also append ":$PATH" to each path like below, then wsl --shutdown
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH"
else
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:$PATH"
fi
Thank you to licanchua
I'd recommend checking /etc/wsl.conf to see if appendWindowsPath setting shares the Windows PATH with WSL, and also if it is specifically setting a particular user.
For the config settings, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config
