Resolving multiple auth requests

[evanaze]

I thought I was pretty slick with my current solution to using code-server with sshcode from Mac to my Ubuntu machine: ~/workspace/.server/sshcode --upload-code-server ~/workspace/.server/code-server me@my_ip, but I am consistently getting this error:
ERROR failed to start SSH master connection: SSH master wasn't ready on time: max number of tries exceeded: 30.

After this point I am forced to authenticate multiple times. Anybody know how to resolve the need for multiple authentications? The error is risen from this section in the source code: if o.reuseConnection {...} when starting the master connection socket.
I am running sshcode 0.10.0 and code-server 3.2.0. Thanks!

can you post the entirety of your terminal output? from the moment you open the terminal, to when you close code-server?

Then it loads successfully. I close it and the output is:

I am experiencing the same issue on MacOS (local) and ubuntu (remote). I can eventually log in, but it always takes a failure and several attempts to do so. The terminal output is similar.

[Merith-TK]

currently the only fix for this that i can think of, is using an sshkey

[evanaze]

Doesn't Enter passphrase for key '/Users/evanazevedo/.ssh/id_rsa': Show that I am using an sshkey?

[Merith-TK]

oh, Sorry not used to seeing that,
Could not be properly forming a "master" ssh connection
I know this had to be disabled on msys2 builds in my fork when on windows
If i had a Mac i would test this out.

when sshcode is running, after the first password prompt

	sshDirectory               = "~/.ssh"
	sshDirectoryUnsafeModeMask = 0022
	sshControlPath             = sshDirectory + "/control-%h-%p-%r"

is there a control-*-*-* file in your ~/.ssh directory?

[evanaze]

Yes, there are two. One with the name of my local machine and the other with the name of the one I am trying to ssh into.

Also may be worth mentioning, is that I am attempting to use this with Ubuntu 18.04.

[Merith-TK]

I think you already mentioned that.

are those files there when sshcode is not running?

[evanaze]

Yes, they are still there.

[Merith-TK]

try deleting them
you may have to use sudo

[evanaze]

Thanks. I deleted them and ran sshcode. I got this error:

error: failed to sync extensions: failed to rsync '/Users/evanazevedo/.vscode/extensions/' to 'evan@my-ip:~/.local/share/code-server/extensions/': exit status 23

[Merith-TK]

does the folder exist on both machines?

[Merith-TK]

or if you dont care for syncing, --skipsync

[evanaze]

I just checked, and both of the directories exist. And they seem to be identical. I also just tried running sshcode both with and without --skipsync and I am getting the same error in the original posting.

Do you think it may have to do with me running Ubuntu 18.04 on my remote machine?
