VSCode Remote SSH Connection Failed
I'm trying to use the Remote-SSH extension to edit files on a Debian server. The SSH connection is established correctly but then I get an error message :
Failed to connect to the remote extension host server
And the log :
[13:19:04.182] Remote server is listening on port 51569

I am using the remote ssh connection on several other servers and have never had this error. I have tested a few things gleaned from the web but nothing has worked so far.
Could someone enlighten me on the reason for the problem or on a possible solution ? Thanks !
Answer
Delete '~/.vscode-server' folder on your server, and try reconnect.
Not sure for Debian server, but this worked on Ubuntu 18.04
