[Remote-SSH Bug]: Can not log into Cygwin SSH server with bash shell

[emmenlau]

Is there an existing issue for this bug?

• I have searched the existing issues

Required Troubleshooting Steps

• I have followed these troubleshooting steps
• I have tried both values of the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting

Connect Locally

It connects successfully

->

No response

Expected Behavior

I would like to connect to a Windows 11 computer running Cygwin SSH. The Cygwin SSH is configured for bash shell which is what I want. I am not sure if the bash shell is relevant for this problem or not.

Steps To Reproduce

I use VSCode Version: 1.90.2 with latest remote SSH extension as of today (v0.112.0). My Windows 11 computer is behind an SSH proxy host. From a standard terminal I can connect via the proxy host directly to the Windows 11 computer Cygwin SSH server. When logging in, a bash shell is offered and I can work from this shell in my development environment.

With the VSCode extension, I do:

1. Select CTRL-P and Connect to host
2. Choose the remote Windows computer
3. The extension shows that I tries to connect, but hangs basically forever (more than 10min...)

Anything else?

When I set "remote.SSH.path": "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\ssh.exe" then there is an error that the remote ssh would not be executable. So I removed that setting again.

When I set remote.SSH.useLocalServer to false then the error is slightly different, attached here:

We probably have to do something different for a server running cygwin. It looks like there are some checks that we normally have to do for windows remotes which are failing here.

I would love to see this implemented as well.

I am using Remote SSH to develop a Windows C++ Desktop application on my remote machine (Windows 10) using CMake and the CMake tools within VS Code and it's not possible to run my GUI application (when I launch it with CMake) from within an SSH connection that is made to the official Windows OpenSSH server. This is because launching it from the CMake panel opens the integrated terminal on the remote machine (via SSH) and executes the built executable by pasting the path to it, but it doesn't run as a GUI application under the user's logged in GUI/Desktop session, so e.g. the window it creates is never visible when I try to test it via VNC. An option would be to start sshd as a user, but that doesn't work anymore with the official Windows OpenSSH server:

Option 1: Start SSHd as a user

This fails with the latest OpenSSH implementation with fork of unprivileged child failed, as running SSHd as a user is no more possible since OpenSSH 7.5 released in 2017 link

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59880794/starting-gui-programs-via-openssh-on-windows

I've tried connecting to the sshd that comes with Git Bash without luck yet:

VS Code settings:

"remote.SSH.enableRemoteCommand": true,
"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
    "192.168.122.20": "windows"
},
"remote.SSH.connectTimeout": 60,
"remote.SSH.path": "\"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\usr\\bin\\ssh.exe\"",

SSH config:

Host 192.168.122.20
        HostName 192.168.122.20
        User win10
        RemoteCommand cmd.exe # also tried powershell.exe
        RequestTTY yes

Also renamed uname in Git Bash to uname-old:

mv $(which uname) $(which uname)-old

Otherwise the connection just hangs forever, see #8617.

What I am effectively trying to do is to have Remote Development in VS Code via SSH to a remote Windows 10/11 machine, which allows me to execute a GUI application from within that SSH session and see the window it creates pop up in the existing user session (via VNC e.g.)
