Subversion over ssh - 从Windows主机访问Linux上的远程存储库

Question

I created a repository in Mandriva Linux and want to access it from Windows host.

mkdir /home/user/myrepo/
svnadmin create /home/user/myrepo/

To do this, i installed a client TortoiseSVN 1.7.9 .

I set the path -

svn+ssh://user@ip/home/user/myrepo/

Where ip== ip of remote linux host.

I'm trying to do a review of the repository, but get an error -

Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://user@ip/home/user/myrepo/' Can't create tunnel.

What could be the reason for the error?

Answer 1

You need to edit your configuration file (%appdata%\\Subversion\\config), there is a section called tunnels where you have an out commented line like this:

ssh = C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe

If you use a key for authorization you can add this parameter for skipping the password entry part:

-i c:\\Path\\to\\putty-ssh-key.ppk
