When I'm trying pair to my mac, I get the following: An error occurred while trying to establish an SSH connection with SSH keys to 'IP'. However, using ssh to connect to my mac through cmd it works just fine but for some reason VS fails to do this.

    I have the same problem. People report that modifying sshd_config worked for them but that initially didn't work for me. Then it worked after I restarted VS.

What works is following these steps:

  1. add these lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
  1. save the file
  2. restart sshd
  3. restart Visual Studio

The original recipe was provided here: Visual Studio 2022 won't connect via SSH on macOS after upgrading to Ventura
