Visual Studio Code Remote – SSH connection failure – CentOS

So I’ve been able to connect over SSH to the server using a shell, and now I’m trying to use Visual Studio Code Remote – SSH. The SSH connection seems successful but then I get prompted with “Could not establish connection to … . The VS Code Server failed to start.”

Any ideas what the problem might be?

  • Local OS: Windows 10 with native SSH client
  • Remote OS: CentOS 7 (without sudo rights)
  • Logs:

    Turns out the SSH-server didn't support VS Code for some reason. I solved my problem by creating a ProxyCommand in ~/.ssh/config to another internal machine, which did support VS Code.

    I had similar issue, so I try running server.sh from your console that is inside of:

    ~/.vscode-server/bin/622**************************/server.sh

    Mine showed missing libatomic1 library.

    Once installed, everything works as it should.

    VS Code: File > Preferences > Settings >
    and search for @ext:ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh,ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit config file then type the absolute file path of your ssh config file.
