3.3.5. Access via custom protocol with SSH encryption (svn+ssh://)
The configuration and server process is same as in the svn:// method. For details, please refer to the above section. This step assumes you have followed the above step and started the Subversion server using svnserve command.
It is also assumed that the ssh server is running on that machine and that it is allowing incoming connections. To confirm, please try to login to that machine using ssh. If you can login, everything is perfect. If you cannot login, please address it before continuing further.
The svn+ssh:// protocol is used to access the Subversion repository using SSL encryption. The data transfer is encrypted using this method. To access the project repository (for example with a checkout), you must use the following command syntax:
svn co svn+ssh://ssh_username@hostname/path/to/repos/project
You must use the full path (/path/to/repos/project) to access the Subversion repository using this access method.
Based on server configuration, it prompts for password. You must enter the password you use to login via ssh. Once you are authenticated, it checks out the code from the Subversion repository.
