Error Message "I don't handle protocoll ssh"

Hans Eurst

I'm trying to set up SourceTree on a Windows 7 Machine. The repository I'm trying to connect to is available over ssh with a standard username/password account (no private/public keys!).

I'm using the following syntax for the URL:

ssh://username@server/~/folder/repository.git

Source Tree says "Invalid Path/URL" and when clicking "details" it says: "fatal: I dont't handle protocol ssh"

I tried the same URL on different Machines and it works great on a different Windows as well as a OSX Maschine.

What can i do? Do i need to install any third party software?

I have the same problem if I use system git (version 2.5.1), but if I change to embedded git (version 1.9.5) I'm able to clone the repos.
