## sourceforge login failure

Wed Oct 30, 2013 1:09 pm

I only have to use sourceforge every few months.
I know i had the same problem in the past.
When i try to connect with
- filezilla
or with
ssh -t username,[email protected]
create
I get an error similar to:
Too many authentication failures.
When i log in by using the web-browser it works, with the same credentials.
Is there any secret trick?
Thanks (using the webinterface is slow and feels "wrong").

You're doing it right. I do it the same way (in terminal, not in filezilla) but I don't get authentication failures. After giving the password, I get

Code:
  `Requesting a new shell for "fsmithred" and waiting for it to start.
  queued... creating... starting...
  `

Which takes a minute or two to finish. And then I'm in.

This is really getting old.
Each time needing to fiddle for days, not hours, to simply log in.
The weird thing is that no one else has problems.
I got a username and a password, and i can log in from browser.
I got a Projectname.
I tried all kind of variations, none helps, all say too many auth errors (After the very first try too!).

I use to have a similar problem I believe. I am not sure if it was sourceforge or another site. If I recall correctly filezilla would open (or try to open) multiple connections. I think there is a preference setting that you can adjust so it does not do that. I think I started using gftp instead of filezilla.
Of course that may not be your problem at all....
So really this post is just noise...

I was happy too early.
Setting a ssh-key got rid of the error "too many authentication failures",
but now it doesn't accept the password.
It all looks a wee bit messy to me (settings, documentation, etc).
The service itself is good, of course.
ssh -t name,[email protected]
create
.
I was wrong.
The errors can be ignored, then i log in via:
ssh [email protected]
That makes my point, it is all a bit messy, even more true.

I heard "able to login via ssh... blabla... login via filezilla fails"
so I'm suggesting to delete any previously saved "entry" within filezilla. input your user/pw afresh
