 Techstaff are not experts on VS Code or its proprietary SSH extension, but there are a couple of common problems that we find people encounter when trying to connect. Techstaff are not experts on VS Code or its proprietary SSH extension, but there are a couple of common problems that we find people encounter when trying to connect.

-Using ''%%nslookup%%'', ''%%dig%%'', ''%%host%%'', or another DNS lookup tool, you can see that ''%%linux.cs.uchicago.edu%%'' expands to ''%%linux1.cs.uchicago.edu%%'', ''%%linux2.cs.uchicago.edu%%'', and other servers up to ''%%linux7%%''.+Using ''%%nslookup%%'', ''%%dig%%'', ''%%host%%'', or another DNS lookup tool, you can see that ''%%linux.cs.uchicago.edu%%'' expands to ''%%focal0.cs.uchicago.edu%%'', ''%%focal1.cs.uchicago.edu%%'', and other servers up to ''%%focal7%%''.
  
 If VS Code has started its server process for you on more than one of our login servers concurrently, this can cause problems, including a situation in which it just repeatedly prompts for a password, preventing you from connecting. Additionally, this can often result in the directory ''%%~/.vscode-server%%'' in your home directory on the server becoming corrupted in some way. Since VS Code will automatically recreate that directory when you reconnect, it's safe to delete it. If VS Code has started its server process for you on more than one of our login servers concurrently, this can cause problems, including a situation in which it just repeatedly prompts for a password, preventing you from connecting.

     - Assuming it is ''%%results.log%%'' you probably don't want to delete it just yet as there is probably a process that still has it open and is still writing to it. Proceed and delete this file at the very end.     - Assuming it is ''%%results.log%%'' you probably don't want to delete it just yet as there is probably a process that still has it open and is still writing to it.
