There is an issue with creating remote repositories using ssh (the problem may require using a different account name.) I filed the following bug:
<http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Error_creating_remote_repository_using_ssh_on_OSX/>
Bug report:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click \"Remote server: Set up a repository on a remote server using ssh.\"
2. Enter hostname and different username than currently logged in user
3. Click check this server
What is the expected output?
> I expected to see the next step in the remote repo creration process.
What do you see instead?
> Failed to ssh to the server. Transcript: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied, please try again. ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied, please try again. ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied (publickey,password).
What version of git-annex are you using?
> git-annex: Version: 3.20130114
On what operating system?
> OSX: 10.8.2
Please provide any additional information below.
> I mentioned \"with a different username\" because the assistant will allow me to create a remote repository on the same target machine when I use my normal username. I think this is most likely because I have a ssh-key setup for the account on the remote machine. However I do not want to assume anything and send you down the wrong OSX rabbit hole.
> After a little research it seems that OSX does not have a ssh-askpass
