I am trying to connect to a remote linux server per ssh using the Remote Explorer extension from Visual Studio Code. However, the user I am using to connect has only read-only rights and therefore cannot create a profile folder in the .vscode-server folder that already exists. Apparently, this is necessary for the connection?

I can connect via shell using ssh user@ip. Everything is using the same config and known_hosts files and ssh keys.
Can anybody tell me how to get around this? Thank you.
The server was in a READ-ONLY state and had to be rebooted. After this it worked without a problem.
