Setting up lsp to work with Distant

[rael346]

Currently I have my nvim setup with clangd and clang-format for coding in c (all of them work perfectly fine on my local machine). Did the follow steps for distant

• setup distant using neovim quickstart docs (with both local and the ssh machine having distant)
• used :DistantConnect ssh://... to connect to my ssh machine (Debian based) and opened some c files on it
• clangd and clang-format doesn't run on the file

Looking at :LspInfo, clangd doesn't seem to find the root directory of the file. I searched around the docs and on github but couldn't find anything related to setting up the lsp servers (I did find the --lsp flag in the spawn command, but the docs didn't really specify how to use it).

Is there a specific thing that I need to do to setup lsp servers?
