Reverted back to version 1.49 and remote ssh works again.

I managed to get it working on 1.50.1 by disabling Remote.SSH: Remote Server Listen On Socket and running the command Kill VS Code Server on Host.

same here. cant connect with remote ssh development to my raspberry after 1.50.1 update.

I encountered the same problem, this is my solution:
Remove all the log files in the folder ".vscode-server" on your remote server. Then run vscode client, connect to the remote server , it works again.

Same issue here, running VS Code on Win10, connecting to remote Linux server.
This was working fine until the upgrade to 1.50, after which starting the remote VSCode server failed and extension repeatedly asked for password.

Solution suggested by @imxxw worked for me, I deleted all the .log files in the .vscode-server folder, AND also everything in the .vscode-server/data/logs/. After that remote connection worked.

Same issue. Win 10 to remote Ubuntu 20 server. Deleting the logs only did not work for me. I deleted the entire .vscode-server directory before VS Code would remote to the server. Then later in the day could not reconnect again and again deleting the directory allows me access.

this works. deleting all files in ".vscode-server" folder and after that making a connection attemt makes remote machine redownload the server files. this fixes the problem for me.

I cannot remove the vscode-server folder because it states that the device or resource is busy. This is now not working on 1.49 version or 1.50.1.
Any ideas?

not the folder itself. try to remove all the things inside?

I went into the .vscode-server/data/logs/ and there are 2 folders that will not delete because they are in use. Thanks for any help.

I now get an error: The VS Code Server failed to start.

Okay everyone, try this.
In the VS Code Command Palette, run "kill VS Code Server on Host". Once I did that, I was able to connect using 1.50.1 with no issues. Fingers crossed
Thank you @ulvido for your assistance!

[roblourens]

Please try again and share the full log from the Remote-SSH output channel after running the "kill" command
