SVN+SSH and Sourceforge

Question

I\'m new to both Sourceforge and SVN (SilkSVN on Windows).

I managed to check out a project using

svn co --username=zeroth123 svn://zeroth123@svn.code.sf         


        

Answer 1

I followed the instructions here and it worked. Its a quicker method that doesn't require uploading keys etc.

1. Download plink.exe from http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe
2. Place the plink.exe in your windows installation directory (%windir%)
3. Open the following file using Notepad %APPDATA%\Subversion\config

4. Add or Replace the following line in the [tunnels] section (replace login and pwd with your sourceforge login and password)

   ssh = c:\\windows\\plink.exe -batch -l  -pw 
   

   (note the double backslash)

5. Save and close the file
