VS code remote ssh - port forwarding fail

 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75837749/vscode-failed-to-set-up-socket-for-dynamic-port-forward-to-remote-port-connect

1. SSH Server Configuration:

AllowTcpForwarding Setting: Verify that AllowTcpForwarding is set to yes in the SSH daemon configuration file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) on the remote server. If it's set to no or commented out, uncomment it and set it to yes.

Code

    sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Ensure the line AllowTcpForwarding yes is present and not commented out.

Restart SSH Service: After modifying sshd_config, restart the SSH service on the remote machine for changes to take effect.

Code

 sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

2. VS Code Server Issues:

Corrupted VS Code Server: A corrupted or outdated VS Code server installation on the remote machine can cause issues. Delete the .vscode-server folder in the user's home directory on the remote machine and reconnect with VS Code. VS Code will then reinstall a fresh server.

Code

    rm -rf ~/.vscode-server

* your /etc/ssh/sshd_config may have this 

Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf

that may contain 

DisableForwarding yes

that disabled forwarding

GIT command not recognized in VS code terminal

Have you correctly set your PATH to point at your Git installation?

You need to add the following paths to PATH:

• C:\Program Files\Git\bin\
• C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\

And check that these paths are correct – you may have Git installed on a different drive, or under Program Files (x86). Correct the paths if necessary.

---

Modifying PATH on Windows 10:

1. In the Start Menu or taskbar search, search for "environment variable".
2. Select "Edit the system environment variables".
3. Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom.
4. Double-click the "Path" entry under "System variables".
5. With the "New" button in the PATH editor, add C:\Program Files\Git\bin\ and C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\ to the end of the list.
6. Close and re-open your console.

Modifying PATH on Windows 7:

1. Right-click "Computer" on the Desktop or Start Menu.
2. Select "Properties".
3. On the very far left, click the "Advanced system settings" link.
4. Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom.
5. Double-click the "Path" entry under "System variables".
6. At the end of "Variable value", insert a ; if there is not already one, and then C:\Program Files\Git\bin\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\. Do not put a space between ; and the entry.
7. Close and re-open your console..

Settings file locations#

By default VS Code shows the Settings editor, but you can still edit the underlying settings.json file by using the Open Settings (JSON) command or by changing your default settings editor with the workbench.settings.editor setting.

Depending on your platform, the user settings file is located here:

• Windows %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
• macOS $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
• Linux $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

VS Code provides two different scopes for settings:

• User Settings - Settings that apply globally to any instance of VS Code you open.
• Workspace Settings - Settings stored inside your workspace and only apply when the workspace is opened.

File: Exclude 

Configure glob patterns for excluding files and folders. For example, the file Explorer decides which files and folders to show or hide based on this setting. Refer to the Search: Exclude setting to define search specific excludes. Read more about glob pattern
