Generally connection refused relates to a lack of opening the Ports. You need to ensure that this has been done on both your Firewall and your Windows Firewall. Either can block.

Ensure that the port you open is the same one to that of the _Config [assuming you know this ;)].

Let me know how this goes ?

fatal: connection refused

I read your bullet point at the end of the post, but that shouldn’t be a problem, considering that I attempting to do this from the same machine, and I *can* clone.

Any ideas?

Sorry for the late response. This really just tells you how to setup the Server side – the client side is simply just connecting to the server implementation. To do this, you just need to install Mysisgit and TortiseGIT and then connect to the server via SSH and it should work (see the last step!).

Glad it helped :)

This was really a nice article. I am able to setup the environment. Now I want to use the configuration as a Git Server and want to install client on other machine.

Is there a way?? I tried to clone a repository from the server to the client (only msysgit is installed in the client).

Thank you in advance..

Yeah I also tried this long ago – but the access requirements of freeSSHd don’t seem to provide the appropriate level required. Unfortunately (and I did try for sometime with freeSSHd) it doesn’t work.

Hence the long post :)

search on the net everyone seems to be having the same problem.

now tryin your method

Initialized empty Git repository in C:/temp/myapp/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Did you found solution about this?

thanks

Apologies updated the “problem section” for you.

Cheers,

Tim

Thank you very much for an extremely detailed article.
In the last step when i am tryin to clone via Tortoise, i got the following error:

git.exe clone -v “ssh://pratik@127.0.0.1:2244/SSH/etc/git/myapp.git” “C:\temp\myapp”

The server’s host key is not cached in the registry. You

have no guarantee that the server is the computer you

think it is.

The server’s rsa2 key fingerprint is:

ssh-rsa 2048 be:02:2d:65:a5:bc:51:a4:03:ef:14:df:75:55:ec:93

Connection abandoned.

Initialized empty Git repository in C:/temp/myapp/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Then, i opened command prompt and ran

CMD>git.exe clone -v “ssh://pratik@127.0.0.1:2244/SSH/etc/git/myapp.git” “C:\temp\myapp”

This asked me to cache the host info, i clicked “Yes”
Then, i got ahead.

Initialized empty Git repository in C:/temp/myapp/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Now, i tried the same clone thing from Tortoise again,
now i get:

git.exe clone -v “ssh://pratik@127.0.0.1:2244/SSH/etc/git/myapp.git” “C:\temp\myapp”

bash: git-upload-pack: command not found
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/temp/myapp/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

googling for the error now :)

Thanks
