Thanks for the tip! This led me to try for a more dynamic solution and I’ve tried a different approach, it seems to work (”seems” cause I’ve only tested it against one subversion server). The help message for putty link (and thereby TortoisePlink.exe), states that “host” in the url may be a saved Putty session. This means that you can save a putty session towards your nonstandard ssh server as e.g. “mysvn” using a different ssh port, and then use a standard svn+ssh url to access it, e.g: svn+ssh://user@mysvn/svn/code

Thanks for this, works great - I’ve copied your blog and put into mine, changed a few things to point to 443 as a port - but I’ve credited you for this and I reference this on the post.

Thanks for this - I created a batch script which you can point Tortoise at and it will pluck out the port for you and pass it to TortoisePlink

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the correction regarding the cause of the issue - good point. The fault lies with TortoiseSVN rather than the actual protocol.

You’d think it would be a relatively easy fix, but in the meantime, just Hack It! (TM)

Thanks for this quick fix, it worked out fine for me

One thing to point out though;

This is not protocol-related but rather tortoisesvn making an ass out of itself (which otherwise is a fine program).

If it was protocol-related you wouldn’t be able to Hack It (TM) in this way and it would also give problems under every other environment, which it doesn’t.

I hope they add proper url parsing and / or a port selector soon.

Thanks,
– Arthur.
