  • 0

I want AnkhSVN to remember my SVN + SSH password. Until now I have to type it multiple times per operation. A previous topic discussed 2 solutions

1) Replace the default ssh client by renaming plinkw.exe to ssh.exe and moving it to one of the folders AnkhSVN searches for SSH client.

2) Replace the default ssh client in the configuration files/windows registry.

I couldn’t use solution 1, because I don’t know where to get plinkw.exe, and my PuTTY’s plink.exe requires that the password be passes as an argument.

I couldn’t use solution 2, because I couldn’t find the configuration files nor the windows registry’s keys.

Can you help me?

PS: I also posted this in the AnkhSVN forum:

    You have to create a special key at the host SSH server and then copy the public key to your local system. Putty can then use this public key to negotiate your credentials without you having to type them in over and over again.

    That said it’s a massive security hole on a windows system as anyone who has that key has access to your *nix system.
