Answer 1

I had the same problem but the above solutions didn't work with my setup,
but the following setting did work:
"remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false
I got this solution from github reported issues and fix

Answer 2

In my case, the problem was caused by a too long authentication process on the server-side.
Solved it by extending the Connect Timeout from 15 to 30 seconds.
Instructions:
open your vscode Command Palette (via keyboard shortcut or from the
View menu).
search for the Remote-SSH: Settings.
scroll till you find the Connect Timeout.
change it to a longer duration than 15 secs.

Answer 3

key F1
Remote-SSH: Settings
Connect Timeout: from 15 seconds to 60 seconds solve my connection issue

Answer 4

You can try the following approaches:
ssh to your remote server. Then run the following commands to clean data folder and bin folder under .vscode-server folder on the server:
cd ~/.vscode-server
rm data/* -rf
rm bin/* -rf
If step 1 does not work, ssh to your remote server and delete the entire .vscode-server folder with the following command:
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server
Please note that this will also remove the extensions that you installed on the server.
Downgrade the version of the remote-SSH extension in vscode. Look up the extension in the vscode interface, right click on that, and you will find the option "Install Another Version ...". Install the previous version of the current one. If it does not work keep downgrading the version.

Answer 5

I had the same problem before, I solved this by deleting "terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": false inside ~/.config/Code/User/setting.json

Answer 6

I found the solution here in this thread from user oreilm49:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/1137
in vscode settings :
search conpty and uncheck it

Answer 7

I had same issue, my problem was solved after changing settings in the json file:
I removed "terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": false inside ~/.config/Code/User/setting.json
I added "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true inside ~/.config/Code/User/setting.json
It worked for me after so many different trials

Answer 8

This might be a very foolish solution but it actually works for me, so I will write it down in case any other people get into the same problem.
I made modifications to the config file for SSH, then all the trials for connection ran into the error of 'Connecting SSH timed out'. I tried many possible solutions but none of them solved my problem.
Then I just closed the VScode and restarted it. Then everything works.

Answer 9

I had a case of this. I my client (local computer) is a Mac, and I was connecting to Linux host. I just went to the setting "Remote Platform" under Remote.SSH settings, and explicitly told it that I am connecting to a Linux remote. After this, it started to work.

Answer 10

I had this issue because of version missmatch of client and server. After updating both to the same version, it worked for me.

Answer 11

The issue with me was timeout at first. I tried increasing the timeout in settings but then later found the issue was with "tar".
The vscode-server.tar.gz (probably a little change in the file name) was not able to install due to tar not being present in my host.
So I installed tar in the host as "yum install tar"
And then tried reconnecting to the server and it worked
