Mac 10.11 with SVN 1.7.20 : Unable to connect to a repository at URL

Question

I tried to clone a repository and I got this error.

svn: E210002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://xxxx@xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/trunk'
svn: E210002: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
svn: E210002: Network connection closed unexpectedly

I am using svn version 1.7.20 (r1667490) on Mac 10.11. I was able clone the same repository from my other PC (Mac 10.6.8) which uses svn version 1.6.17 (r1128011).

I also copied the ~/.ssh folder from the PC that uses svn 1.6.17 to the one with svn 1.7.20 but still get the same error.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

I would check and be sure your permissions are correct on your ssh keys. Copying them over sometimes munges them, and can be a pain to debug. Try ls -la in .ssh folder on both computers to be sure the permissions are the same.

I checked and saw that both have the same permissions. – Catherine Jan 05 '16 at 06:27
Did you try getting more verbose output from ssh by editing your ~/.subversion/config file and adding the parameter like it suggested?? – CT Rhude Jan 05 '16 at 17:43
After editing, it said: ssh: Could not resolve hostname myhost8: nodename nor servname provided, or not known – Catherine Jan 06 '16 at 02:41
