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?

[Merith-TK]

No, it works just fine for me on my machine, I run ubuntu 18.04 as well on the remote, as well as arch.
Clients im testing with are Arch and windows 10

Pretty much the only difference between our setups are as follows

1. Your using MacOS
2. your using a password protected key.

can you temporarily use no sshkey? or is that out of the option?
