How to execute remote command?

[Icemole]

Hi all!

The official Remote - SSH extension has an option that enables the RemoteCommand being respected (see original issue), is the functionality there for this extension already? If not, are there any plans to integrate this functionality? I'd be greatly interested in it.

RemoteCommand is not supported currently but ProxyCommand is supported, doesn't it cover your use case?

Sadly, it doesn't... I'm trying to run a singularity image on remote so that I get the native interpreter from there into VSCodium. However, substituting RemoteCommand singularity ... by ProxyCommand ssh <hostname> singularity ... runs into the following error:

[Error  - 15:03:34.747] Error resolving authority
Error: Connection lost before handshake

Note: ProxyCommand singularity ... crashes with exactly the same error message, only way sooner.

In my setup I use ProxyCommand to so an ssh connection with a hop (using SSH key file with password) and can confirm I get a similar error:

[Error  - 09:08:47.486] Error resolving authority
Error: Premature close

Would it take too much work to implement the RemoteCommand functionality? If I can provide any more assistance I will be glad to do so.

Same error for me.
