VSCODE SSH Not Working

I have had issues with not being able to set up SSH in my VSCODE, it simply does not want to connect whatever way I do it. Solutions?

What exactly are you trying to do? connect to a remote server via ssh in vscode?

Yeah, using the remote ash plugin

I don't think you need a plugin to connect in vscode; should be something built in If you're on windows press ctrl+shift+p and type in ssh and you'll see something similar to Remote-SSH: Connect to host

yeah, that's a bug in vscode you have to click on the button at the bottom-left corner the blue one, with >< on it or click the "connect to" in the list

Remote computer must have VSCode installed.

once you connect, vscode installs vscode in the server

yeah, it's kinda fiddly, but it installs itself automatically i've had 100% on all supported platforms, so far

one thing i had to do too was delete a hidden file / folder called something like .wget-hosts and .vscode-server. restart the server and then try to reconnect via vscode ssh you might be able to manually install .vscode-server too through ssh

if there's any libraries that it needs to install manually, they won't be installed and you will have a bad time
