Hi,

I am trying to clone my repository but keep getting the below error message, I am using Putty with the msysgit client.

Thanks for any help,
Faheem

$ git clone git@abcd.unfuddle.com:abcd/vr3.git

Ditto.

As someone just learning these ropes, and has gotten this far, a clue would be nice.
In my case, I’m using GIT
Will thrash around, for a while, to try to solve.

After doing some googling for the error mentioned, it sounds like this is a known problem when using Putty on Windows. You must first attempt to connect to the server directly with plink.exe before using Git. When connecting directly with Putty, it will interactively ask you to confirm the host key, at which point it will be cached, allowing Git to run.

I hope that helps!
