MAC VSCode remote ssh extension failed to connect to Linux server

Question

I am trying to use VSCode remote ssh extension to access a folder on my school machine. I think initially the connection was established since it prompted me to enter the password. But then the window is stuck, and here is the output:

  [16:27:58.275] > Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
    > Thus no job control in this shell.

The problem should not be on my school's server side because I used the ssh command in zsh and it successfully connects. So can anyone tell me where the problem is? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Open command palette, run "Remote-SSH: Settings", then config "Remote.SSH: Remote Server Listen On Socket" to true. This did the trick for me.
