Git clone on an ovh host server

Question

I want to do a git-clone from an ssh connection, on an ovh host-server, but it does not work:

Here's the command I entered:

git clone ssh :/ / forumdesy@ftp.forumdesthinktanks.fr / www / (and all variations /. Git / www / .git, / www / .git / ... )

This is the message that I invariably get:

fatal: '/ www': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Moreover, the command git clone "ssh :/ / git@ftp.forumdesthinktanks.fr / ~ / forumdesthinktanks.git" responded with:

Permission denied, please try again.
git@ftp.forumdesthinktanks.fr 's password:

While the ftp password is correct.

Finally, the commands

git clone ssh :/ / forumdesy@forumdesthinktanks.fr /. Git

and

git clone ssh :/ / git@forumdesthinktanks.fr / ~ / forumdesthinktanks.git

do not work (until the terminal's time out). I'm using a terminal from my Mac.

It's kind of hard for me to see what you're doing with the way you formatted it, but here's some things to remember when cloning:

1. It's CaSE SenSiTivE.
2. You want to use git clone ssh://username@host.org/path/to/repository/.git assuming default configurations. (it could also be that the directory with the repository ends in .git, so then you wouldn't have the /.git at the end)
3. Make sure you have at least read permissions to the repository.

You might be doing this so that it doesn't become a link in your post, but you shouldn't have spaces before or after the /s. (really no spaces at all except in certain conditions)
