When I try to connect using SSH, it tells me “Could not chdir to home directory /home/user/myname”. What did I do wrong?
This often happens when using SourceForge projects for the first time, but may occur on other servers as well. You must manually log in to the server, using an interactive SSH session, in order to create your home directory for the first time. After this, you will be able to log in successfully. Use your SSH client to connect to the server (e.g. cvs.sourceforge.net) and log in with your username and password. Your home directory will be created for you.
