Not able to clone a repository with large files

Question

I have devices connected to the internet with a cellular network, with using ssh key I am able to clone small repositories with no large files. However, in the repository with large files, I get this error:

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to {------} port {}: message authentication code incorrect
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Hi @Hossein Dehghani

If this issue is only happening on one network, but not another - I'd suggest troubleshooting this by using our documentation:

Based on the error message posted: Could be an [ssh key] issue or a [network connectivity] issue.

Problem: The SSH key being used might not match the one expected by the server.

* Solution: Verify that you are using the correct SSH key. You can check this by looking at the ~/.ssh/config file on your client machine or by specifying the key directly with the ssh -i /path/to/key option.

Error Message:

* 
ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to {------} port {}: message authentication code incorrect
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Note: However if you were able to clone small repos, means that the ssh key is good and it down to a network connectivity issue.

Network connectivity Issue:

Cause: Network connectivity issues, such as unstable internet connections, network timeouts, or firewall restrictions, can cause the connection to drop unexpectedly.

Solution: Ensure that your network connection is stable. Check for any firewall rules that might be interfering with the SSH connection.
