Re: GIT and SSH

Depends on how you do it (as already described by others).

Our connections here are heavily censored and ssh traffic is suppressed most of
the time which is why I need to figure out why a simple  

    $ git clone git://<URL> 

command chokes to a halt and freezes most of the time ( the same command when
executed remotely on our V.P.S. in Europe works flawlessly ).

"git://" uses the git protocol which does not involve SSH.

    $ git clone ssh://<URL>

would use SSH.
