Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH connection failure

Question

So I've been able to connect over SSH to the server using a shell, and now I'm trying to use Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH. The SSH connection seems successful but then I get prompted with "Could not establish connection to ... . The VS Code Server failed to start."

Any ideas what the problem might be?

• Local OS: Windows 10 with native SSH client
• Remote OS: CentOS 7 (without sudo rights)
• Logs:

Turns out the SSH-server didn't support VS Code for some reason. I solved my problem by creating a ProxyCommand in ~/.ssh/config to another internal machine, which did support VS Code.
