title: VS Code SSH Remote Connection issues
body: <p>I have been using VS Code and connecting remotely from home on my MacBookPro to work on a college project for the past month and for some reason it will not connect to the Computer Lab Server anymore.  No idea why this is happening but it just stopped working today.  I tried re-installing vs code and also installed it on my wife's computer but it still wont connect through remote ssh.  No idea why this is happening but now I have no way to debug my code and have to just edit everything using emacs through the terminal app on my mac.  I didn't make any changes from last night to this morning..  I can still ssh into the Computer Lab server from terminal fine.  Bellow is some of the log that seems to repeat itself while it is trying to connect using the extension: remote ssh.</p>
  <p>Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, or are there other IDE's that are somewhat easy to connect remotely through ssh available for Mac?</p>
