[roblourens]

I don't see anything wrong from this info, can you open files in this window?

If not, can you share the log from the Remote-SSH output channel?

[vhood]

I can do anything in explorer and I can edit files, save them, remove them etc.
My terminal is always "Starting..." and it doesn't respond.

[roblourens]

Thanks. This is strange, looks like you are in a constant loop of reconnection so some features, will probably not work properly. You probably see a popup saying that vscode is reconnecting too?

[vhood]

No, I have no one popup and I don't know why.
But this extension works well with my local clean virtual machine (CentOS 8), where was popups and I've added ServerAliveInterval 1200 to ssh config and now that popups doesn't bother me. For our main remote server and corporation local server (10.0.210.123 were logs from) this option doesn't help, the terminal is just "Starting..." at all time, popups I've never seen there.

[jorymorrison]

@roblourens I ran into this as well. Suddenly my SSH connections would not connect. Only remedy was to use remove terminal.integrated.shell.windows from my settings.json. It was presumably set after connecting to a WSL remote target some days ago. Otherwise, the SSH connection is established but the session times out because no shell is opened.

Note I am using 0.49.0 because .50 and up will not load my configuration file per #2529

[Thing342]

^ same symptoms as @jorymorrison on Mac. I deleted terminal.integrated.shell.linux on mine and was able to connect again

[ander2at]

I commented out terminal.integrated.shell.windows on my windows machine and it worked. See @jorymorrison solution. I am using 0.51.0

[jorymorrison]

Something keeps setting: terminal.integrated.shell.* in my settings.json, which breaks my ability to SSH.

Any insight into what causes this to be set in my settings.json?

[BarretRen]

I have the same issue with @vhood, have anyone resolved the issue or do you have any workaround solution?

[jorymorrison]

Did you delete the terminal.integrated.shell lines in your config file for
the hosts?

Yea, but it’s still not work. My shell path is “/usr/bin/zsh” on my remote server. Is it related with this issue? i noticed that the default path of vscode is “/bin/bash”.

Sorry for the slow response. There have been lots of changes the past several months. Let me know if anyone is still having an issue.
