Vscode-remote-release: Extension is unable to find config file

[thatreguy]

I tried connecting to a remote server using settings in my config file. However for some reason vsode throws up error saying it is unable to locate the file. While I can clearly access the file from command line. Any ideas what might be causing this ?

ls -alh ~/Dropbox/config/ssh/config

Similar issue in my environment.
In my case,

I am working on Windows Host, Linux Client. It was working perfectly fine until a hour ago. It just stopped working when I open new window to open another project on the linux server. Since then, I've never successfully open projects via ssh.

I don't know why, but I could avoid this problem by adding "remote.SSH.showLoginTerminal": true in settings.json.

With this option being true, it always succeed to connect to the remote,
and always fails with false.
Hope this helps.

This works. Thanks @ublftij !

Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in the nightly ssh extension, would appreciate if someone can try it out and let me know?

I still see the same issue:

Can you make sure you uninstall the stable ssh extension first? Disabling remote extensions actually does not work currently. Should have mentioned that 😁

[jellevandenhooff]

@roblourens thanks, nightly works with other extension removed.

Better to put this in the Marketplace description?

[roblourens]

Good point, I've added it to the nightly's readme
