I am trying to checkout files from svn+ssh server using Tortoise, but when I enter all details, it gives me an error "Error: Network connection closed unexpectedly". I have confirmed that my details are correct.

Here are the system details I am using: -- Windows 7 machine -- Tortoise SVN client

Steps I followed :

  • Url : svn+ssh:///
  • Entered username and
  • Entered password.

any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing at the problem here... but this might be your issue.

Some ssh servers will simply fail you if you try too many ssh keys. If you have a lot of ssh keys (even for other domains) this can sometimes be a problem.

Here is an example of this failing when somebody is not using tortoise: https://superuser.com/questions/187779/too-many-authentication-failures-for-username

Can you test accessing the system just using the command-line version of svn just to see?

Even just do an "svn list" on your remote path - and see what errors it gives you.
