subversion tortoisesvn with alternate ssh port

Details

subversion_logoIf you are using your subversion server with ssh you normally use something like

1
 
svn co svn+ssh://This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it./var/myrepos/project_main

for checkout. If your ssh port is not default 22 you have to change a bit in the subversion configuration.
The subversion config file is normally located in the users application-data directory in ...\Subversion and is named config.
In the tunnels you have to add a ssh-client (i used TortoisePlink.exe because i already had TortoiseSVN installed), and configure that the ssh protocol uses a different port by default.

ssh = C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe -P 2211
You could also define another port like 
1
 
myssh = C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe -P 2211
Your checkout would then look like 
1
 
svn co svn+myssh://This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it./var/myrepos/project_main
That works fine on command line, but when i tried it with TortoiseSVN it failed.
I don't know if it is a bug, but you have to set in TortoiseSVN->Settings->Network->SSH client TortoisePlink again
1
 
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe" -P 2211
Then it works without any problems.
This was an example for windows, if you want to use it on linux/unix you dont need TortoisePlink you can simply use the ssh binary, you also have to convert the backslashes to slashes.
