Hi guys -- I have a server without https and so I'm trying to establish if I can host a repository there using ftp. The manuals suggest that I can, but when I try: >git push -v ftp://user:pw@host//u/path/repos/test/.git/ Pushing to ftp://user:pw@host//u/path/repos/test/.git/ fatal: unable to access 'ftp://host//u/path/repos/test/.git/': RETR response: 550 Looking at it with wireshark, I can see the SIZE and the RETR of .../test/.git/info/refs reports the file does not exist, which is correct and, as far as I can see, normal(?), but that the RETR failure terminates the push: <image deleted> Have I made an error in the setup of my repos, or some other foolish mistake? Best wishes, i ... Ian S Worthington
