svn asking for password

grassblade · Post by **grassblade** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:42 pm

I am new to svn and using tortoise svn. I tried to import irrlicht with it with the svn command given in the faq and how to section. Tortoise transfers some bytes and then asks for user name and password.
The message box says
Authentication
<https://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net:443>Sourceforge Subversion area
Requests a username and a password.
Username:
Password:

How do I solve this? Should I have a sourceforge account to use svn? Thanks.

No, you don't need a login and password. Only for write access, but that's limited to the developers. You seem to have done something wrong. Maybe you used a wrong path? You have to checkout the path /svnroot/irrlicht/trunk

Thanks hybrid, it is working now.
The problem was I copied and pasted the wrong path with /trunk irrlicht from the how to section.
