Using VScode with ssh remote server through jump servers

[akrz91]

Hello,

I’m not raising an issue yet as I don’t know if what I observe is an expected behavior or some feature missing.

I’m using blink shell to connect to the remote server and it is properly handled in Files app as a Location. Thanks to that I can open a VScode for WEB with a remote filesystem attached, wow! :)

But the problems that I observe start to appear when the server is not a direct connection, but between iPad and my server there is any other “jump server”.
In my case there are two actually but it does not matter as in a single jump server case I observe the same.

When connecting to ssh via jump server I have no problem in command line but the location on Files App reports “unknown error” and claims it cannot show the folder content. When running code <host>:<path> command it is also only launching the VScode instance but no remote files are visible.

In logs I can only see some generic error:
[error] Jul 23 2022, 20:17:18 Connection ::1.49870 Error completing operation - connError(msg: "Socket error: disconnected")

I’ve read here: https://docs.blink.sh/advanced/files-app
that proxyJump should be supported for the Files app but it seem like it is not working for me.

Is there anything I can do with it?
Have anyone experienced similar issue?

Thanks and regards,
Adam

Hey Adam, it looks like possibly an issue with the configuration. Could you share how you are setting things up?

There is more information https://docs.blink.sh/advanced/advanced-ssh#jumpbastion-hosts. Another thing to try is to connect from the CLI first, make sure that works. And also, make sure that the destination has enabled SFTP.

Hello Carlos,

Thanks for your answer.
It seems like I was following the same instruction as you provided but something had to be wrong in my configuration.
Now when I configured the jump servers once again it works fine :)

Thanks!
