SSH through another port than 22

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Creating a repository path that looks like:

svn+ssh://host:port/path/
does not seem to work. It respons:
ssh: connect to host host:port port 22: Connection refused

svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

Where host and port obviously is something meaningful.

Thanks,

Tried with svnX 1.1b3 (BETA).

Does it work correctly from the command line?
Are you using SSHKeychain?
Did you read the info regarding SSH in the svnX Help window/Read Me file?
Did you Google 'svn & ssh' or 'svnX & ssh'?

Apparently you may not enter a port number in a URL when using svn+ssh with 
Subversion.
You need to add something like the following to your ~/.ssh/config:

    Host <some-unique-host-name>
    HostName <real.svn.repo.domain.com>
    Port <required-port-number>

And then for the svnX repository path enter:
    svn+ssh://<username>@<some-unique-host-name>/<path-to-repository>

However, I don't think that this is really an svnX issue.

I'm successfully using that path format in the SVN connector used in the 
Eclipse IDE 
and therefore thought it was supposed to be possible for all svn clients. 
Anyway, your solution worked, thanks, although it doesn't seem to use the 
username 
and password I've added in svnX for that repository. It keeps prompting me for 
the 
password for every operation. But that doesn't really go in this issue, does it?

What keeps prompting you?

I'm pretty certain svnX NEVER prompts for passwords.  (There's no code in svnX 
to do that.)
However, SSH (possibly via SSHKeychain) will repeatedly request passwords if 
not setup correctly.
[SSH requests a username/password to log into the SSH server.
 SvnX & Subversion only store username/password to access the repository.
 Different username/password even if they are the same.]

I'm going to close this issue as I don't think this is a problem with svnX.
