When attempting to push / pull over ssh, git is failing with the following error:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe" push -u --recurse-submodules=check -progress "testremote" project:project
Using username "git-receive-pack 'ec2-user".
FATAL ERROR: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Done
The remote "testremote" is setup as "ssh://ec2-user#sweeb.net:gittest.git" and I'm using an existing keypair that I have used with PuTTY before without issue.
Pageant is running, with my key loaded.
I think the issue is the line "Using username "git-receive-pack 'ec2-user"." - I assumed git's commands were breaking on windows thanks to the space in "Program Files" so I've tried to surround everything with double quotes, but that doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Windows vars:
GIT_SSH=C:\PuTTY\plink.exe
PATH=[...];"C:\Program Files\Git\cmd";"C:\Program Files\Git\libexec\git-core\";"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\"
This was solved by removing "ssh://", that's implicit in Git Extensions apparently.

Recently I had to get my hard drive replaced on my work machine and thus had to reconfigure everything. As a result I had to reinstall git bash. Before I was able to ssh fine into wpengine and now I cannot.
I am able to connect via the regular windows terminal fine but when I try with git bash I am getting the "Permission denied (publickey)." error for the same exact command.
I have tried all the suggested options from wpengine and in the different questions related to this on other SE questions and nothing is working.
I am using a Windows machine on windows 10.
Here are the following things I have tried:
Regenerating the key and adding it to my user public keys again and
then waiting 24 hours.
Adding the config details to the ssh_config file in C:\Program
Files\Git\etc\ssh
Adding a config file to my /User/username/.ssh/ folder.
I have tried using the following link and adding the wpengine rsa file: https://gist.github.com/jherax/979d052ad5759845028e6742d4e2343b as well.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
My guess is there is some kind of permissions issue going on the local machine?
Why would the request from git bash terminal to wpengine look different from windows command terminal?
I did solve my issue. If it helps you please use it!
When I used the command to the ssh host with : ssh -v user#environment.wpengine.ssh.net info
I got back this among the debug errors:
debug1: Offering public key: /c/Users/USERNAME/.ssh/KEY_FILENAME RSA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX explicit
debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
user#environment.ssh.wpengine.net: Permission denied (publickey).
After finding this page:
https://transang.me/ssh-handshake-is-rejected-with-no-mutual-signature-algorithm-error/
I was able to solve the issue by adding the line:
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa to my ssh config file.
Honestly I am not even 10% certain on WHY this worked, however, it solved my problem.
How To Connect with SSH In WPEngine
If you are having trouble connecting to SSH in WPEngine Following are the commands which I used:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f c:/users//.ssh/wpengine_rsa
Add Fingerprint in WPEngine My Profile – SSH
Add Config file
Host *.ssh.wpengine.net
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/wpengine_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
Connect with your wordpress website (windows command prompt)
ssh environment#environment.ssh.wpengine.net
I had to restart my machine but things were working before hand. I was using Git Bash with SSH and hoses on Win 10 to connect to BitBucket which was fine.
I then had to also connect with Git Bash (another instance) to GitHub. This required Putty and Pagent to get setup.
No I try to connect to BitBucket and get this:
git pull origin mybranch
FATAL ERROR: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Is there a simple way to have both working in different shells?
I tried to do a plink.exe to bitbucket.org but that made things worse.
Is there a simple way to have both working in different shells?
Yes. You can use any single method (from both) for connecting to HG|BB. Just select preferred way (ssh + ssh-agent OR pageant) and perform needed steps according to relevant docs
I have trouble getting the official Windows ADT 21.1.0 distribution to connect to a git repository. No matter what I tried(details below) it complains about host key not present in the registry and shows me no option to accept the host key. The remote server is running Gitlab and is under my control. There's no problem with connectivity or firewalls.
What I tried so far:
connecting without giving a password, with user git
connecting while giving a password, with another user
adding manually the host key in the known_hosts file that is found in the ssh home directory(Preferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2->SSH2 home).
The message is always:
The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You
have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
think it is.
The server's rsa2 key fingerprint is:
ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx...
Connection abandoned.
RSE works without any problems, only egit gives me problems.
You could workaround the problem by not using the ssh protocol with the git server, but instead the git or http protocol.
One reason for the above message can be using a folder called "ssh" instead of ".ssh" (note the dot). Some colleague of mine experienced that, and this can easily happen when using Windows explorer, as it will silently remove the dot, when creating a folder called ".ssh". You have to use the command line instead.
I'm trying to hook up Mercurial to Bitbucket on a PC and it's being really tough. I followed the instructions here:
http://www.codza.com/mercurial-with-ssh-setup-on-windows
and I'm running pageant set to my private key. I typed this at the command line:
plink -v hg#bitbucket.org and I get the following output:
C:\mypath>plink -v hg#bitbucket.org
"skipped for briefness"
Access granted
Opened channel for session
Server refused to allocate pty
Started a shell/command
conq: invalid command syntax
Server sent command exit status 0
Disconnected: All channels closed
My friend got the same error when he tried it on his PC. Can you help explain what the problem is or how to debug?
Running plink ssh://hg#bitbucket.org gives Using username ssh://hg and Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available.
Thanks for your help,
Kevin
You cannot connect to Bitbucket like that and get a login shell -- their backend process (called conq) will only accept Mercurial commands. With TortoiseHg, you don't have to do anything special -- so hg push ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/... should just work out of the box.
Using HTTPS is generally a nicer option for Bitbucket and as we discussed on IRC, there are plenty of ways to cache the passwords.
So on my friends local Windows machine we are trying to setup GIT.
Basically, we've been following this guide which has been great. The problem we are facing is as follows:
All works until we get to Using Gitosis
When we use the command
git clone
git#INSERT_IP_HERE:gitosis-admin.git
We keep getting
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/Thomas/gitosis-admin/.git
Connection closed by IP_HERE fatal:
The remote end hung up unexpectedly
When we try simply
ssh git#IP_HERE
We get "Connection closed by IP_HERE"
If we login as
runas /user:git C:/cygwin/cygwin.bat
And run > ssh git#IP_HERE
We at least get asked for a password then
Last Login: Connection to IP_HERE
closed.
Would anyone be able to help ?
The error does indeed indicate that authentication is failing.
Firstly, open gitosis.conf on the server and check that you are a member of the group containing gitosis-admin repository. It should show something like.
[gitosis]
[group gitosis-admin]
writable = gitosis-admin
members = user1 user2
The member name must match with a public key in /keydir before access can be made.
Secondly, you do not say how you are connecting from the Windows machines. If you are using Git under Cygwin, make sure you are correctly loading the private key. If you are using MsysGit with Putty, be sure to load the private key before connecting as well.
There is a small gotcha if PuttyGen is used to generate key pairs, and that is the default format is different from OpenSSH which you are probably using. Copy and paste from the top window, or alternatively edit the multiline public key file to read like this.
ssh-rsa AAAABB...KEYBODY...ONLkQ== user1
Lastly, make sure port 22 is open in any firewalls if that is indeed the port you are using.
A more comprehensive description of how to set up a Git server with Gitosis on Windows, can be found at here
I recommend the use of MsysGit from windows, as it gives better integration into the Windows environment. TortoiseGit and GitExtensions both use MsysGit as the backend, and provide nice Gui's and explorer shell extensions. GitExtensions full installer will provide the windows user with everything they need.
Did you get past runnig the gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub command?
That error indicates to me that the public key isn't set up properly. The command above initializes gitosis with the first key.
