Windows 8 Tortoise SVN connection issue

Question

Trying to configure a new machine, and when attempting to checkout a repository with tortoise svn, I get the following error:

Checkout from svn+ssh://[email protected]/home/activemls/svn_repository/AMLS_frontend/trunk, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://[email protected]/home/activemls/svn_repository/AMLS_frontend/trunk' To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file. Network connection closed unexpectedly

Answer 1

You should try using basic svn protocol first to see if this is just an SSH issue or a more basic problem.
