I'm running VSCode (with remote develop) on Windows 10.
I have generated a ssh key and want to use it to connect to remote server (Ubuntu) via SSH (instead of password).
VSCode keeps asking for the password. For another server, with the same key, it works.
The key is properly installed in the server. If I try to ssh via cygwin with the key, it works.
The tab OUTPUT/Remote-SSH shows:
> warning: agent returned different signature type ssh-rsa (expected rsa-sha2-512)warning: agent returned different signature type ssh-rsa (expected rsa-sha2-512)
Instead of plain ssh-keygen without arguments, use (for instance):
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521
Apparently the problem is created by three concurrent factors: (1) outdated ssh client shipped with windows, (2) the newer versions of the server in modern Linux, (3) using the standard rsa key generated by default by ssh-keygen. It's also reproducible from the windows command line calling ssh.
Another option is to manually overwrite the openSSH binaries under System32
