Git over SSH Server in Windows, cannot find shared libraries

Question

I was to setup an SSH Server to Host my Git Repository to my local area network. I followed this tutorial by TimDavis hoping that I would be able to make a secured Git Repository.

I tested my connection using Putty and it was successful. My only problem was I cannot run "git" command in the console. Then I tried cloning my repository, and this was the error that outputed:

/usr/bin/git-upload-pack.exe: error while loading shared libraries: 
libiconv2.dll: cannot open shared object file: 
No such file or directory

Also when I ran "git" command in the Putty Bash that was connected to the SSH Server, this was the error I encountered:

/usr/bin/git.exe: error while loading shared libraries: pthreadGC2.dll: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I seems that all my problem was about the missing libraries but I don't know how to solve it. I am using Windows 7 as an Operating System.

Thanks

Answer 1

As explained here: http://christopherpeplin.com/2013/01/cygwin-git-https/ the sasl libraries and the ca-certificates are missing. Install them by running the setup of cygwin, and installing libsasl2 and ca-certificates packages (the first is support for SSL and the second the root certificates that will be used for SSL authentication).

Answer 2

I got this error too. I tried copying not just git.exe but the corresponding dlls (libiconv, etc...) from the git bin directory to the CopSsh bin directory and it went away.
