EGit SSH Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command

Question

I set up a GIT Server in our internal network. I can push to it using git://...../ and with the option --enable=receive-pack on the server.

But when I try to push via ssh using EGIT Eclipse plugin(ssh://username@ip_adress:22/project.git) I get the following error:

Transport Error Cannot get remote repository refs.

Reason: Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command.

What might cause this and how do I solve it?

Answer 1

git:// and ssh:// use different protocols (see EGit User_Guide#Git_URLs). So either use the former in EGit too or make sure ssh access works.
