Hi all,
I´m following the steps outlined in Tim Davis´ blog for setting up GIT with copSSH on Windows (http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/) but I´m having problems. I´ve gotten up to step 15 under the Installing Putty instructions but rather than getting a "Enter Login" message, I´m getting a "Network Error: Unable to connect to server" error.
I know that it could potentially be a myriad of things but I was wondering if by some miracle, someone could give me some ideas of what else I should check?
I´ve doublechecked the following:
- IP address is correct
- User has been added to copSSH
- Key is stored in the specified user folder
- Rule has been added to Firewall
(NOTE: We´re using a server on 1and1.com and the firewall rules allow us to specify a local port and a remote port. Have configured to local port 4837 and remote port to Any). I tried to doublecheck if the SSH service is running but I don´t know what it´s called. I noted down the username and password from the copSSH setup but I haven´t seen anything remotely similar to SSH in the list of services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I´ve never had to do something like this before so I´m a little lost.
Regards,
Kat
