I am trying to use VSCode - Insiders to run code on a docker container in a remote AWS machine using the Remote - SSH plugin. I have opened a terminal and set up port forwarding like so: ssh -L 2201:localhost:2222 user#host -N -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Then in VSCode I try to connect to root#localhost and it starts up, but then gives me an error message:
> Found existing installation...
> Found running server...
>
> bash: no job control in this shell
"install" terminal command done
Received install output: bash: no job control in this shell
Failed to parse remote port from server output: bash: no job control in this shell
I started doing this process a couple days ago and it worked. Yesterday it was in and out a bit, and today it's not working at all. I've tried turning it off and on again, but can't get it to work. In case it's relevant, I am on MacOS with the Mojave OS.
Edit:
Magically, it worked today (the following day) the first time. I would still be interested in knowing how to fix this next time it breaks. In case this helps, here's the output from when it is working:
SSH Resolver called for "ssh-remote+7b22686..."

Edit 2: And now (the following following day) it's not working again.
Edit 3: I have a config file at ~/config. Here are the contents:
Host *
User root
Port 2201
IdentityFile ~/id_rsa
In the specific implementation shown above, you have User root in your config and are logging in with root#localhost, so you have your username twice. Leave the config file as is and just enter localhost in VSCode. This still doesn't solve the instability issue, but it does fix one problem.
I have the same issue when configuring my server. It solved by this issue. After save your config file for remote server, change the remote shell path like this issue, and then connect, you will in.

Beginning today, I am unable to connect to my remote server in VSCode. The error in the output shows this repeating 5 times:

The port number in that SSH command is different for each attempt. If I copy that command out and run it in cmd manually from my local machine and add in -vvv, then I see the connection is successful and the prompt sits on "debug2: exec request accepted on channel 2" infinitely. I can't tell what the problem is. Is the local forwarding port failing to be created and listen on? Is there something with the remote server causing the timeout? Oddly, if I delete the .vscode-server directory on the remote and try to reconnect, then it actually does reinstall it fine. But I still get the error that VSCode can't connect to the remote server.
I forgot that the VSCode Remote extensions have their own repository. Turns out my issue is https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7324
Ensuring that I set remote.SSH.useLocalServer to true in my user settings.json fixed the issue until it is resolved in-code.
For the past few months, I've used this VSCode Extension to work remotely on a linux server via SSH. I'll occasionally have a connection problem, but sshing from a terminal and deleting ~/.vscode-server/ has always fixed it. This time, though, that didn't fix it. I've tried deleting the folder multiple times, I've removed and reinstalled the VSCode extension, restarting my computer, everything I could think of. But each time, it gets stuck at downloading with wget, even if I leave it going for hours. I can connect to the server by sshing directly just fine, and other people I know can connect to the server through the extension as well. Is there anything else I can try to get this working?

I ended up getting it working. I was connecting to a Centos7 server, what worked for me was deleting ~/.wget-hsts. After that, it reinstalled the server and connected fine.
There are a few reports of a similar issue in the microsoft/vscode-remote-release project which implements for VSCode this feature.
For instance, issue 4008
The remote OS I am connecting to is a RHEL 7 Linux machine.
I tried fiddling with iptables and ports for the wget request to no avail.
It hangs for a little while at the wget step, and ultimately fails to connect. I tried tweaking just about every SSH setting in the remote.
The only other thing I noticed that might be related was with the Ports Available text at the bottom of the screen. It never reads anything other than 0 during the connection process. When I'm properly connected, it says 1 Port Available.
However, I did find a successful workaround: I rolled back the Remote SSH extension to 0.55.0 and it worked like a charm again.
So try and downgrade the Remote SSH extension, to see if it works.
I tried waiting for around 10 minutes and it downloaded. Don't know why although ✨
I recently moved to a different country, but I work remotely and therefore I thought that my workspace wouldn't be interrupted. However, now that I'm trying to connect to my workspace through ssh in vscode, the connection keeps disconnecting. I connect to the workspace through the VPN my workspace provides, and while I can connect to the linux box I work in via ssh, I cannot connect to it through vscode-remote-ssh extension like I did for the past few months. Nothing has changed in terms of settings on my computer. I attached the output vscode provides when I tried to connect below (this is the output from the reconnection attempt but the first connection attempt looks exactly the same).

The connection hangs on [Forwarding server 53048] Got connection 2 for a few seconds before disconnecting me and repeating this message (and asking for password again). I tried removing the .vscode-server file from the linux computer, which is then recreated right away but it still doesn't let me connect. I also tried changing the timeout in the vscode settings but this also did nothing. I am unsure why this would happen after simply physically moving the computer from one place to another but remaining on the same vpn, and why I would still be able to connect with regular ssh but just not through the vscode-remote ssh extension.
You might try ssh manually to the server and delete the remote server folder which makes VSCode download it again from scratch.
This has helped me today:
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/
rm -rf ~/.vscode-remote/
The suggestion comes from the following discussion: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/2513
You might also wanna check if your new network IP is allowed in the target group of the server.
I had the same exact issue, and for me.
I dont have a resolution but a crappy workaround - reboot the far machine.
im running ubuntu 20.04 and once i rebooted, then i can connect from visual studio and connection stays up, BUT once i close the VSC and restart, then i see this issue again, and again i have to reboot the far machine.
EDIT: later i discovered that stopping the sshd daemon with systemctl start/stop sshd also helps this situation - so no need to reboot
This issue is due to a hard coded 20 second timeout in the protocol between the vscode client and the remote server. This is discussed in detail here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7497. No fixes for this yet and will hopefully be fixed soon by making this timeout configurable (to allow overcoming these disconnects).
Remote SSH plugin states VS Code Insiders has experimental support for Windows 10/Server 1803+ using the official OpenSSH server.
I have the official OpenSSH server installed and configured on Windows Server 2019 1809. I can connect via pubkey authentication and have PowerShell Core over ssh working as well. I tried both Remote SSH and Remote SSH nightly plugin. At first it was complaining that it couldn't find bash. So I installed git bash and added it to the system path. I get the following error when attempting to connect to my windows server:

Anybody know the magic sauce to get Remote SSH working w/ Windows 10/Server?
Looks like VSCode is attempting to run bash on the server which I'm guessing would resolve to git's bash which is mingw based as I recall. VSCode should be running Powershell on the server.
Did you include your server in the list of windows remotes in the extension's settings?
Requires "remote.SSH.windowsRemotes" setting. Here is the documentation.
"remote.SSH.windowsRemotes": ["myserver"]
I have recently discovered vscode and the remote development extension, and wanting to try it out, but I can't get the damn thing to connect to my development server.
I've installed the both the vscode and vscode insiders packages by downloading the .deb packages manually on my local machine and installed the extension it self by executing this line:
ext install ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack
Afterwards my pre-configured ssh hosts gets discovered fine and i have key-based auth running and it works fine when connecting to the server from a terminal.
But when I try to connect to the server, by right clicking and selecting one of the two options, only a notification saying "Confirming hostname is reachable" pops up for a second or two and then nothing else happens.
There are no information in the "output" view, other than this line:
remote-ssh#0.42.2
I've checked and confirmed the remote server has the needed prerequisites.
Also i see nothing in the /var/log/audit/audit.log on the remote server when trying to connect, so I dont even think it tries to establish a connection.
What am I missing ?
Local OS: Linux Mint 19 Tara
Remote OS: CentOS 7
I found the issue - "+" signs makes the extension fail: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/612
I have this line in my local .ssh/config
Host *+*
ProxyCommand ssh $(echo %h | sed 's/+[^+]*$//;s/\([^+%%]*\)%%\([^+]*\)$/\2 -l \1/;s/:/ -p /') nc -q0 $(echo %h | sed 's/^.*+//;/:/!s/$/ %p/;s/:/ /')
Which allows me to connect to host b through host a like so:
ssh hosta+hostb
Removing that fixed the issue, and I connect succesfully to a remote host - it simple seems that that vscode dislikes that line.
