"Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly" error while using svn+ssh

If you got a "Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly" error while using svn+ssh (here is a nice HOWTO) then you should comment (or remove) "mesg y" in /etc/bashrc or in $HOME/.bashrc

Worked for me as a charm :)

    Try to force "mesg n" in your local bashrc. If this will not help - check out JNI version used by Eclipse. There was a post somewhere talking about this.

    OK. Here's how I fixed this (on Mac OS X, but fix should work on any client)

    This particular issue arises when you are using a non-standard port (let's say 12001 for sake of example) for your SSH server.

    Apparently the SVN client experiences syntax errors when given a port address on a command line like this one:

    svn list svn+ssh://username@domainname.com:12001/home/username/svn/myproject

    So, to fix this, you need to create a client-side config file for SSH like this:

    cd ~
    cd .ssh
    vi config (create a config file like the one that follows)
    :w
    :q

    Config file located in ~/.ssh/config:

    Host domain.com
    User username
    Port 12001

    Then, issue your svn+ssh command WITHOUT the port like this:

    svn list svn+ssh://username@domain.com/home/username/svn/myproject

    That's it!

    Hope that helps.

    Hey,
    wanted to let you know that the howto link on your site is now broken. The new home for the howto is http://test.tortoisesvn.net/ssh_howto.html
    Thanks.
