Has this happened more than once?

Hi,

It started happening to me today:

• Atom: 1.23.3 x64
• OS: Windows 10
• remote-sync : v4.1.8

And happens 100% of the time.

Whoever is having this issue, log in to your box via regular ssh first.

If you're seeing random text coming into your terminal, that is most likely your problem.

Figure out what's causing it and stop it (checking for rogue echo statements in the .bash* files is a good start)
