Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45940 (project cvs): Hello,
I think that I have found what was going wrong. In fact I had two problems at the same time, which made sorthing this out a bit more chalenging. = My 1st problem = On my MSW-XP machine, the PuTTY ssh program (aka plink) was there: C:Program FilesPuTTYplink.exe and I had configured the envvars like this: $ @echo CVS_SSH = %CVS_SSH%, CVS_RSH = %CVS_RSH%. -| CVS_SSH = C:Program FilesPuTTYplink.exe, CVS_RSH = C:Program FilesPuTTYplink.exe. and everything was fine, but on my MSW-7 machine, the PuTTY program was installed there: C:Program Files (x86)PuTTYplink.exe and therefore I had accordingly configured the envvars like this: $ @echo CVS_SSH = %CVS_SSH%, CVS_RSH = %CVS_RSH%. -| CVS_SSH = C:Program Files (x86)PuTTYplink.exe, CVS_RSH = C:Program Files (x86)PuTTYplink.exe. but that was a problem, as I got : $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jpicedt co -P jpicedt -| cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: connect to jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.112):2401 failed: Connection timed out Only the :perserver: protocol is affected by this problem (anonymous access). The :ext: is fine (authenticated access). Now this first problem was solved by replacing "Program Files (x86)" by the equivalent short name, which is "PROGRA~2" in my case, you can know yours by doing: $ dir /X C: -| Le volume dans le lecteur C n'a pas de nom. -| Le numéro de série du volume est AC5E-0292 -| -| Répertoire de c: -| -| 03/12/2013 22:34 <REP> Drivers -| 26/09/2015 15:48 <REP> PROGRA~1 Program Files -| 26/09/2015 15:53 <REP> PROGRA~2 Program Files (x86) -| 01/07/2014 22:30 <REP> PROGRA~4 Programmes -| 26/03/2015 14:45 <REP> Users -| 25/09/2015 10:59 <REP> Windows -| 0 fichier(s) 0 octets -| 6 Rép(s) 167 059 132 416 octets libres So after doing this: $ @echo CVS_SSH = %CVS_SSH%, CVS_RSH = %CVS_RSH%. -| CVS_SSH = C:PROGRA~2PuTTYplink.exe, CVS_RSH = C:PROGRA~2PuTTYplink.exe. and CVS works. = My 2nd problem = In fact it was not working in my case neither for authenticated access, nor for anonymous access, because I had a second problem. As you can read on Sourceforge CVS doc <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/CVS/>, sourcefore supports CVS up to CVS 1.11.x. However I was using CVS 1.12.13a, here is what I get with CVS 1.12.13a correctly configures envvars CVS_RSH and CVS_SSH: $ cvs -z3 -d:ext:vincen...@jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jpicedt co -P jpicedt -| cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: reading from server: No such file or directory error-> Unable to write to standard output: Le canal de communication est sur le point d'être fermé. $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jpicedt co -P jpicedt -| cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: connect to jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.112):2401 failed: Connection timed out If in addtion the envars are configured with "Program Files (x86)" instead of "PROGRA~2", which was my initial situation on MSW-7, then I get the same errors: $ cvs -z3 -d:ext:vincen...@jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jpicedt co -P jpicedt -| cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: reading from server: No such file or directory error-> Unable to write to standard output: Le canal de communication est sur le point d'être fermé. $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jpicedt co -P jpicedt -| cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: connect to jpicedt.cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.112):2401 failed: Connection timed out _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?45940> _______________________________________________ Message posté via/par Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list Bug-cvs@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
