Basically go to the Settings dialog, by right clicking in a windows explorer window -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings. It is provided by TortoiseSVN in the install directory under bin. I use TortoisePlink, which is a wrapper around Putty, I think. The window steals focus when it opens, interrupting whatever other tasks I may be doing. I dont use Putty for my ssh+svn connections. However, doing the former is a security no no, and doing the latter opens up a black console window for every single svn command, which is really annoying. Is this a bug?įor now I can limp by with either hardcoding my key password into the SSH client field as a command line option, or by pointing the SSH client to the stock plink.exe binary. It seems as if TortoisePlink.exe just isn’t checking for Pageant sessions anymore. My TortoiseSVN working directory is checked out from servers config file is using the default config, and the SSH client in the TortoiseSVN Network settings tab is cleared out (therefore using the default TortoisePlink.exe). I have a saved Putty profile set up for the server I am connecting to, and that profile is pointing to the. I am running on Windows 7 (圆4) and have shared public key authentication set up via Putty and Pageant as outlined at: Many of the guides I found create the keys with putty in the first place and that just did not work for me.Ever since I upgraded to version 1.7.1, any server commands I send through TortoiseSVN are asking me to enter the password for my Putty private SSH key (.ppk). The important point here is that the keys were created on the server and then imported to putty. This session should now login automatically ppk file when you click on ‘private key file for authentication’ Then go to Connection->SSH->Auth and select your newly created. Open up putty and fill in Connection->Data ‘login username’.Select the id_rsa key file you downloaded and puttygen should then import it.Open up puttygen and select from the menu: conversions->Import Key.Its best to ensure you download to a safe directory like your desktop FTP into you MediaTemple account using psftp and download the id_rsa file.ssh and type: cat id_rsa.pub > authorized_keys2 You should now have id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in the.Do not use a pass phrase as we want autologin. Follow the instructions to generate the keys.Login to your MediaTemple account using putty.Ensure you have putty, puttygen and psftp installed/downloaded.I therefore log the process here to help others that may struggle with setting them up and as a reminder to myself, should another ‘incident’ occur at Media Temple. This meant that I needed to setup the keys again and although not as bad as the first time, it still took longer than it should. It took me a while to figure it out first time and recently something happened with their servers that caused my ssh login root directory to change (of course they denied this), causing my ssh keys and a few scripts I had to ‘disappear’. It was therefore imperative that I configured the ssh private-public keys so that I could login automatically. Using a nice, secure complex password to log on with the ssh client, my IDE and my svn client is very tedious – I have to dig out the password every time. They offer ssh access to the hosting, which is superb and coupled with svn repositories, enables me to keep all the source there too.
