Hello all,

I've went through the excellent guide provided by Tim Davis (http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/) which is about configuring Git to work with SSH under Windows in order to produce a Git Server in order to have a main place for my DVCS.

I am in the process of creating a clone for my project. I’ve went through all the steps till this point, but I keep getting this from TortoiseGit:

git.exe clone -v “ssh://[email protected]:22/SSH/Home/administrator/myapp.git” “E:\GitTest\myapp”

bash: [email protected]: command not found Initialized empty Git repository in E:/GitTest/myapp/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Success

and nothing gets cloned.

BTW: The TortoisePLink comes up just before this message appears and asks me: “login as:” ( I thought that this info is given in the command, i.e: Administrator@blahblah.

My home variable is set to the correct place: From a Git Bash shell: echo $HOME /c/SSH/home/Administrator

I’ve also tried using Putty’s plink instead of TortoisePLink (in both Git’s and TortoiseGit’s installation). This time the error was narrowed down to:

git.exe clone -v “ssh://[email protected]:22/c:/SSH/Home/administrator/myapp.git” “E:\GitTest\myapp”

Initialized empty Git repository in E:/GitTest/myapp/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Any help is more than welcome!

Thanks Panagiotis
