From this thread, it appears that downgrading the "Remote - SSH" extension to 0.49 is the best temporary fix. It worked for me.

To downgrade, click "Manage" on the "Remote - SSH" extension and select "Install Another Version...", choose 0.49.0 from the list of versions.

Answer 2

A comment from the thread Colby linked states that a good general workaround for this issues is to set the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting to false . This way lets you use the most recent version of the remote-ssh extension.

Answer 3

in my case, i use "ssh fs" extension

"remote - ssh" work on my linux server from my windows client and my linux client, and also work on my freebsd server from my windows client, but doesnt work when on my freebsd server from my linux client

so i change the vsc extension to "ssh fs" from kelvin schoofs and it works
