I've already setup the ssh key, but VSCode keeps asking for password

I'm using a macbook(MacOS) to connect to a remote Ubuntu server. I copied the public ssh key to the server using ssh-copy-id and checked that the ssh key works on the terminal. When I do ssh username@x.x.x.x, connection is made without asking for password). However, when I try to connect to the server through Visual Studio Code, VSCode keeps asking for password. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • It was a problem with the config file.
    The VSCode needs the "absolute" path.

    In case of MacOS, ssh-copy-id seems to only copy the absolute path relative to the user.
    In other words, it omits "/Users/username" before "/.ssh".

    Adding "/Users/username" in the IdentityFile attribute in .ssh/config solved the problem.
