I have justed installed openSSH and I am having trouble with the server URL

  • 0

I have justed installed openSSH and I am having trouble with the server URL for SSH. When open a bash – I can login successfully as

ssh username@some.ip.address

In this directory I have /Git – which is the folder storing my repository – however when I try

ssh user@some.ip.address:/Git

I get

ssh: Could not resolve hostname some.ip.address:/Git: no address associated with the name

When I login via just ssh username@some.ip.address – then execute “ls” – I can see “Git” as a directory.

How do I actually get the proper “Arbitrary URL” in Git correct – i.e. I assumed it was

ssh://user@some.ip.address:/Git

? Thx

    You can’t ssh into directory. What are you trying to accomplish? You can use “ssh url” user@host:/directory with git, but you can’t ssh there.

    git remote add onhost user@host:Git
git fetch onhost

    One more thing you can do with this url is feed it to sftp:

    sftp user@host:Git
