Cool!! Thanks. I've been trying to get VSCode remote working for ages to make it easier to work on https://github.com/the-moog/QNAP-QTS-Tools and this simple trick fixed it - thanks!! Without this every time I restart the SSH or NAS the settings changed in sshd_config are reset and that stops VSCore/remote working.

I was trying to get VSCode Remote working and I found that I needed to also enable AllowAgentForwarding on the NAS, and I needed to sudo both setcfg commands on the Qnap:

sudo setcfg LOGIN "SSH AllowTcpForwarding" TRUE
sudo setcfg LOGIN "SSH AllowAgentForwarding" TRUE

After reboot I confirmed the values had stuck - these command both returned TRUE:

getcfg LOGIN "SSH AllowTcpForwarding"
getcfg LOGIN "SSH AllowAgentForwarding"

Then I deleted any old .vscode-server files from the Qnap:

rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/

Finally I set "remote.SSH.useFlock" to false (i.e. unticked) in VSCode

After this VSCode Remote connected properly
