old issue, new take - 'Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly' when using svn+ssh

[Jankowski, Thomas]

Dear all,

 

I've seen that issue posted a number of times before, but never faced it as I'v always used svn directly, not through tortoisesvn.  And yet here it is.

 

Environment: WinXP desktop using svn+ssh with Tortoise 1.6 connecting to subversion 1.6.1 on a shared linux host

I can putty into the host just fine, using both direct connection using username and password as well as a saved connection using a private key.

I can also perform operations from commandline just fine, having configured svn+ssh in svn config to use plink and with pageant running.

 

But, when trying to use TortoiseSVN, whether it's with plink or tortoiseplink, using a saved putty connection or directly, it always presents me with this same error.

Yes, I've scoured the net and the forums here, and tried a number of ideas and how-to's, all to no avail.

 

Please, let me know if you have any ideas on what to try or how to enable some sort of verbose logging that could trap the actual error.  I'd love to get TortoiseSVN going as I want to use AnkhSVN with it for VS2005 version control, but this little hickup is becoming unnerving.

 

Best regards,

Thomas Jankowski

Do you perhaps have a host name saved in PuTTY's default settings? If
so, delete it, as "Default Settings" is what TSVN uses when establishing
a connection via TortoisePLink...

(Other default settings might be interfering, too...)

Kurt,

Thanks for the tip, but I saw that chain as well. My default settings are totally clear, in which case I get prompted for a password. I've also tried using a saved session with my PPK and host defined, and still no go. Again, both ways work just fine from command line svn.

Using standard plink from commandline also works great.

And yet no go with TSVN. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Thomas

FYI,

The problem was related to the infamous 'mesg y' issue in bash.
I knew about the issue and dealt with it in local .bashrc, or so I thought, but only after making a copy of /etc/bashrc and pointing to that was I able to resolve the problem. Now TSVN is working beautifully. Hoping nightly svn of AnkhSVN will play nicely with the rest.

Thanks,
Thomas

Kurt,

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello, I got stuck on the 'Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly' error for 6 month because I had a host name saved in PuTTY's default settings.

I worked with Tortoise V 1.4, but not from 1.5...

Should not this be considered as a bug ?

I liked my default configuration in putty, anyway !

However, thanks for this fantastic tool !

I had this exact same problem and lost a lot of time because of it. Thanks Thomas for finding the solution. This should REALLY be in a FAQ!

For anyone else who gets here and doesn't know what to do:

- ssh into your account
- cd ~
- cp /etc/bashrc .bashrc
- nano .bashrc
- put a # before the line "mesg y" (which comments it out)
- Ctrl+X to exit, press Y when prompted to save.

that's it.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I have the same problem as the original poster, but this solution does not work. My ~/.bashrc file exists, but has null contents. In fact, I still get the "Connection closed" error after switching my default shell to a non-Bash alternative.

I can make a Putty ssh connection to the repository host without issue, but TSVN does not work. I have no defaults set in Putty.

Thanks in advance.
