14 Here you can configure your proxy server, if you need one to get
\r
15 through your company's firewall.
\r
18 If you need to set up per-repository proxy settings, you will
\r
19 need to use the Subversion <filename>servers</filename> file to
\r
20 configure this. Use <guibutton>Edit</guibutton> to get there
\r
21 directly. Consult the
\r
22 <ulink url="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.confarea.html">
\r
23 <citetitle>Runtime Configuration Area</citetitle>
\r
25 for details on how to use this file.
\r
28 You can also specify which program TortoiseGit should use to
\r
29 establish a secure connection to a svn+ssh repository.
\r
30 We recommend that you use TortoisePlink.exe. This is a version
\r
31 of the popular Plink program, and is included with TortoiseGit,
\r
32 but it is compiled as a Windowless app, so you don't get a DOS
\r
33 box popping up every time you authenticate.
\r
36 You must specify the full path to the executable. For TortoisePlink.exe
\r
37 this is the standard TortoiseGit bin directory. Use the
\r
38 <guibutton>Browse</guibutton> button to help locate it.
\r
39 Note that if the path contains spaces, you must enclose it in quotes,
\r
42 "C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe"
\r
46 One side-effect of not having a window is that there is
\r
47 nowhere for any error messages to go, so if authentication
\r
48 fails you will simply get a message saying something like
\r
49 <quote>Unable to write to standard output</quote>.
\r
50 For this reason we recommend that you first set up using
\r
51 standard Plink. When everything is working, you can use
\r
52 TortoisePlink with exactly the same parameters.
\r
55 TortoisePlink does not have any documentation of its own because it
\r
56 is just a minor variant of Plink. Find out about command line
\r
58 <ulink url="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/">
\r
59 <citetitle>PuTTY website</citetitle>
\r
63 To avoid being prompted for a password repeatedly, you might also
\r
64 consider using a password caching tool such as Pageant. This is also
\r
65 available for download from the PuTTY website.
\r
68 Finally, setting up SSH on server and clients is a non-trivial process
\r
69 which is beyond the scope of this help file. However, you can find a
\r
70 guide in the TortoiseGit FAQ listed under
\r
