@shankao – thanks for the information, it is a somewhat old blog, so your update is helpful.

I have found, using the default port is easier for clients who are new to the protocols, changing the port has security advantages, but is inconvenient for clients.

As it is ssh , I use keys, and disable passwords, and leave the ssh server running on port 22. Adding apparmor or selinux (rather then changing the port) would be the next step, IMO.

The port specification does not work with my current svn version (1.6.11)

The only way I have found is by changing the ssh protocol scheme in the config’s file “tunnels” section. Something like this:

ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q -p 27012

…but that has effect for every host :-/

I would write :
“svn checkout svn+ssh://user@host:8822/”
I not have the time to test :(, but if it works for the host.
My point is that by this way you may not have to configure the client. It’s always a good point ;)

Your command did not specify any options. You did not specify a port for example.

You can not (or at least at the time I wrote the tutorial) :

“svn -p 8822 checkout svn+ssh://user@host/”

Hello,

Thanks for the tips. But I don’t understand :
[...] svn+ssh will not take options for log in user or port, so we must edit ~/.subversion [...]

“svn checkout svn+ssh://user@host/” works for me… What is the difference ?

Dale: I have no experience with Tortoise SVN, but looking on the home page :

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

They claim “All Subversion protocols are supported”, and they list svn+ssh

So my guess would be you will be fine. Set up the SVN server as above, and configure your Tortoise client to use svn+ssh .

See: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-ssh-howto.html

Bodhi, can this approach be used with Tortoise SVN from a Windows client? If so, any pointers for such configuration? I’ve tried a number of things, but can’t get past a login on the server.
