shell request failed on channel 0

Simon HILDENBRAND January 3, 2015

Hello.  I'm getting this error when trying to connect to Stash via SSH.  From the logs, it looks like it is authenticating and then exiting out.  

On MacOS 10.10/Yosemite.

Any ideas?

Hi Tim, Thanks for the info.  

What I'm trying to accomplish is for a web server to reference the project location (i.e., files), so that once the changes are pushed to Stash, the web server is immediately showing the updated files I'm trying to do this by either:

a: the web server references the files directly from Stash's home directory (for example)

or 

b: to have a post-receive action that pushes the files to another location on the server like this: 

git --work-tree=/www/projectname/branch checkout -f $branch

 

Do you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Hi Simon,

Stash doesn't support a login shell over SSH. You can clone or push repositories over SSH using git (it runs the git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack commands on the server) or you can run the whoami command (which prints your username) using:

$ ssh -p 7999 -i /Users/XXXXXXX/.SSH/key XXXXXXX@XXXXXXX whomami

The output you copied above looks fine to me.

cheers,

Tim

note the command is whoami, not whomami. otherwise you might be chasing your tail like me for a bit if you copy/paste...
