Connect to SVN repository with Netbeans using SVN+SSH

Question

Hello all,

I am trying to connect to a SVN server in order to import my project into it with svn+ssh authentication method. I am using the NetBeans IDE (6.8) with subversion plugin installed on Windows XP SP2. I have plink installed with its path set in the Windows PATH env variable. When I use the similar looking repository URL (XXXX and YYYY replaced with sensible things)

svn+ssh://XXXX@YYYY/home/dce/svn/trunk

along with this external tunnel command

plink -l <myUserName> -i C:\\privateKey.ppk

I keep getting this error:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Network connection closed unexpectedly

I searched about it on the Internet and tried many things but didn't work out. Please help if anybody has some idea what may be going wrong. Thanks a lot in advance.
