Please read the docs next time, do not just copy and paste random bits found in the internets: the syntax user@server:repo implies using the SSH protocol for communication which is not available in stock Windows. It might be set up by installing any of available third-party packages implementing SSH for Windows on the host which you want to designate to be a server. But a simpler way to set things up when it comes to Windows is to just use Windows built-in file sharing mechanism (known as SMB or CIFS -- it's this procotol which enables you to "see the file as well as directories on other system"). To do this you have to use the "file" protocol when constructing a Git URL for your remote repository, so you should do something like this: git remote add winxp file:////windowsxp/sharename/path/to/git/repo Here the "file://" bit is the URL schema which tells Git which protocol to use for accessing the repository, the "//windowsxp/sharename" is the portable way to spell the Windows-ish \\windowxsp\sharename UNC path, and the "path/to/git/repo" is the path to the actual Git repo you want to access available via that share. Before putting this to work you have to make sure that *transparent* authentication works on that share for the contacting computer\user combo, that is, when you boot the box which is to access your remote repo, log in with the user which is to call `git push`, fire up Windows Explorer and navigate the \\windowsxp\share share, Windows must let you in without asking for credentials. You also must be able to create and modify files in the target directory on that share if you wish to push changes there (i.e. to update the target repo). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
