Push error: git-receive-pack not permitted [message #937002]

I'm having trouble pushing code using the egit plugin for Eclipse.
Here's the steps I've taken:
* Right click on project, click on team then remote then push.
* Under Custom URI,
Location
URI: (git uri)
Host: github.com
Repository path: /(github username)/casino-royale.git
Connection:
Protocol: https
Authentication:
User: (my github username)
Password: (my github password)
(I've also tried user: git, password: blank)
* Click Next
* Click Add all branches Spec
* Click Next

But, here I get the error, "Can't connect to any URI ... git-receive-pack not permitted)

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you miss some proxy settings?

If you are entering you GitHub username and password, that's wrong, since they are (as far as I know) only used for logging on to the GitHub website, and *not* for authenticating when pushing repos. For the latter, keypair authentication is used.

I am able to push to GitHub without needing to set a Custom URI, just using a configured remote repository value of origin:

git@github.com:organisation/reponame.git

- does that work for you?

The reason that I couldn't push was because I didn't have write access on the Github account that I was trying to push to. It was read-only. Now that it has changed to read-write access, it's working just fine. Thanks for all your help.
