how to connect remote svn using ssh tunnel in intellij

Question

I want connect to a remote svn server through the remote server. I understand I should be using a ssh tunnel. How can I achieve this? I tried this:

local - remote server - remote svn server

And set the subversion in my intellij 16.3 like this:

ssh tunnel : ssh -f id@(remote server ip) -L 22:(remote svn server ip):22 -N

The added a repository url like this

svn://(remote svn server ip)/location

But I somehow receive the following error. What can cause this and how to fix it?

svn: E210003: connection refused by the server

Answer 1

Make sure the server is reachable and you can open ssh session to it manually. See Subversion through a tunnel

Make sure SVN integration in IntelliJ is configured to use svn command line client.

Make sure command line SVN client can access the server without issue
