+1 by the error wget unrecognized option '--no-config'

Same problem. Any temporary solution? Update: Went back to version 1.90 for now

copy vscode-cli-xxx.tar.gz/vscode-cli-xxx.tar.gz.done to /home/user/.vscode-server by youself

[kennylbj]

@Kurt-Shiwz would you mind explaining where can I download vscode-cli-xxx.tar.gz?

open remote-ssh extension log, you will find the file.

Thanks all for the reports. To temporarily get around the wget --no-config issues, the useCurlAndWgetConfigurationFiles setting can be enabled true (that flag won't be passed), or revert back one version.

Locally scp'ing the CLI over is used when using wget or curl fails, so the mitigation above will help.

Anyone who is seeing the wget --no-config issues, could you please share what version of wget you're on (wget --version) and also your remote OS. We'd seen that flag was in GNU wget for a long time IIRC, but appears like it's not as ubiquitous as we thought.

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate. You can search for similar existing issues. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
