I am facing server short time block due to too many SSH connections in a small period time.
There is any switch on Tortoise configuration to limit the number of concurrent connections, or to tell him to reuse the same connection?
I using the TortoisePLink.exe with a shared key.

When using the putty plink.exe, I could see several windows poping up.
I guess that each one is a new connection to the server.
Since port 22 may be attacked, I guess that the server administrator have setup a firewall rule for this server or, maybe, even a sshd config to limit the number of connections.

You don't mention what you do when you see this issue but it has been asked before regarding the Repository Browser and there is a setting to limit the number of connections (at the expense of slower performance). Please see:


 Kind regards,

OK. I have unchecked the option on Dialog 3, 'Pre-fetch folders for
faster browsing', but the block still happens when I click
Repo-browser.
The TortoiseSVN dialog opens, with an empty URL, then the GUI updates,
with the repository URL, and a little after, a connection refused
warning
pops from that I suspect is the TortoisePLink.exe program.
This warning message pops up about 3 times.
Then, the Tortoise main dialog shows that the repository could not be reached.

After a while, if I refresh the folder, a successful connection happens.
I know that is some kind of block because if I try to reach the server
through SSH with Filezilla, it also reports that the server is not
responding.

For now, this is just an annoying thing. But if I could change
something to prevent it, would be better.

Thanks anyway.
