Neither curl nor wget is installed - can't download the Server (wget is installed remote)

[derived-coder]

• VSCode Version:VSCode Version:1.45.1
• Local OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04 x64
• Remote OS Version: Linux 4.14.137 Architecture: arm64 (own yocto build)
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login via ssh remote connection in VS code

wget/curl is installed on my local dev machine.
wget is installed on the remote machine, but not curl.

BusyBox v1.29.3 (2020-05-18 16:27:37 UTC) multi-call binary.

The VScode logs while trying to connect remote:

[amazingAmy]

Have you fixed the problem? I have the same problem :(

[Chuxel]

You need to install curl or wget on the server as the error says. For Ubuntu, run...

sudo apt-get install curl

...on the server.

[Chuxel]

@derived-coder Did installing wget or curl resolve the issue?

[amazingAmy]

@derived-coder Did installing wget or curl resolve the issue?

yes, thanks. Actually, it is because that I use a wrong openssl lib... Thanks for your response!

[Chuxel]

Great - Closing as resolved.
