Thank you very much.

I got the same issue as you.

Hey, I got the same issue, but I fixed it. You need to make sure there is no '(' or ')' in your host name in configuration file. Try to use only letters and numbers in your host name.

@eric-mu

There is not any '(' or ')' in my host name in configuration file.

Host "ip"
HostName "ip"
User PTe
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

[eric-mu]

Maybe you could try to delete the quotation marks？
My configuration is:

Host AI-inter02-207
HostName 172.16.0.207
User ppz
IdentityFile C:\Softwares\VSCode\ssh-key\id_rsa

But it will not work if I modify to:

Host AI-inter02(207)
HostName 172.16.0.207
User ppz
IdentityFile C:\Softwares\VSCode\ssh-key\id_rsa

[pcshih]

@eric-mu seems not work...
Host test
HostName 192.168.0.1
User PTe
IdentityFile C:\Users\ec131b.ssh\id_rsa

[eric-mu]

I am sorry to hear that...
Maybe it is different between our issues.
Hope that you can fix it as soon as possible.

@eric-mu
I hope so......

[rafipiccolo]

in vscode settings :
search conpty
and uncheck it

Now it works. although i don't know what it means.

@pcshih if you connect with ssh in a normal windows command prompt, does it open a new window?

[pcshih]

@roblourens
No, it does not open a new window...

@rafipiccolo
Thank you very much.

[roblourens]

So disabling conpty fixed it? FYI @Tyriar I might have pinged you for that one already in another issue.

[Tyriar]

You should uncheck this and turn conpty back on:

/duplicate microsoft/vscode#73790

[pcshih]

Thank you very much @Tyriar

Hello,
I also have this problem despite your tips..

[roblourens]

Not the same issue @Rechart41. Please open a new issue and make sure that you can connect to that remote from an external terminal. "Corrupted MAC on input"

[Rechart41]

@roblourens Oh.. I'm sorry ... I opened a new post #1249
I can connect to my server with Putty ...

[rafipiccolo]

Could you please explain briefly the difference between conpty / winpty ?
why is one better than the other ?

It feels strange to disable something windows 10 activated by default on every machine.

will it be added to the vscode remote tutorial ?

[Tyriar]

@rafipiccolo don't disable conpty, uncheck the box as outlined in #1152 (comment)

TLDR, winpty is the legacy third-party system, conpty is the new first-party one.
