On Linux I have cvs access via ssh working great, but I cannot seem to get it to work on Windows. Would anybody with a working setup like this on windows please share their configuration? I am currently using Putty and either WinCVS or TortoiseCVS, but I am willing to try other programs to get this to work.
Tim,
I use Pageant and PLink. Pageant is a program that supplies private keys to programs like PuTTY or PLink. You can get them fom the Putty website. I create a public key using Puttygen, and upload it to my account and put it in my .authorized_keys file or wherever it belongs. I load the associated private key into Pageant. After that, it all Just Works, provided my CVSROOT is set correctly:
:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/cvs
I also need to put plink.exe in my path, and then set the CVS_RSH env var to "plink.exe".
After that, things like Eclipse or the cli win32 version of CVS work correctly.
If you need any more help just ask.
Thanks, --Tim Larson
Regards,
Tony
