SSH to Windows remote no longer working

[jorge-menjivar]

I am trying to connect to a remote machine through ssh. It had been working fine until I updated cursor to 0.9.3, from 8.6 or 9.0 (not sure).

The host is Fedora 38, the remote is Windows 11. I removed the .cursor-server dir on the remote, but it did not help.

This seems like a case of the download URL being corrupted or the blob not existing.

I have the same issue.

[jorge-menjivar]

I opened this issue in their community forum as well and they said that they don't yet support connecting to Windows or macOS machines. I guess it was lucky that it worked in the beginning.
