Note that 'gituser@192.168.1.102:/git/project.git' is an SSH URL. There are two possible issues: 1. The path to repository is incorrect. If you are on the same machine as server, you can try cloning (or just 'git ls-remote') with a local path: git clone /git/project.git or git clone file:///git/project.git 2. The SSH setup is not correct: either SSH daemon is not started, or there is no 'gituser' account, or 'gituser' account doesn't have access to /git/project.git You can check first two with ssh gituser@192.168.1.102 echo Hello HTH -- Jakub Narębski -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
