Remote SSH error

[Rads2512]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.88. 1
• OS Version: 14.4.1

I have been using VSC for quite a while and I never faced this problem until a few days ago. While connecting to remote ssh, I'm prompted to 2FA and then it gives me this error - "Setting up SSH Host niagara.computecanada.ca: Copying VS Code Server to host with scp" and never opens

If I do ssh through terminal, I can successfully log in.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.88.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I have been using the latest version like I mentioned above - VS Code Version: 1.88. 1

Please share the full log from the Remote-SSH output channel

It got resolved. Seems like my $HOME was full and it's somehow linked to that and it worked after I freed up disk space. Thanks!

Can you offer some useful advice for this issue? As far as i know, this issue would randomly occur after restarting vscode, my colleagues have met the same issue.
