There is documentation on the site on this (its a bit rough still but it is
enough)
http://sfdocs.sourceforge.net/sfdocs/
Specifically the pages :
http://cdx.sourceforge.net/win-HOWTO.htm
http://akrip.sourceforge.net/cvs-ssh-win32-howto.txt
Short summary:
There are 2 freely available command line ssh clients for win32.
Supposedly one doesn't work but can generate public keys. The other works
but can't generate a good public key.
Use the one that can make keys to generate the files 'random_seed'
'identity' and 'identity.pub', and place them into your '%USERPROFILE%\.ssh'
directory (or is it '%HOME%\.ssh', unix ports are so inconsistent on
Windows :)
Using the other ssh, Connect to sourceforge with ssh and verify it
works (with a manual prompt for user/login)
Upload the identity.pub to sourceforge from their web interface, and
wait for their 6 hour cron job to activate it.
Set the environment variable CVS_RSH=ssh, for WINNT set it in the
'my computer' properties environment, for Win9x in autoexec.bat
Now you can use ssh and ssh secured CVS from your box without the
user/login prompts.
Once all the above is working, it should be trivial to get WinCVS
configured (by checking the RSA box and pointing it to the identity file
etc).
Finally, On windows, CVSROOT must have the method :ext: to work with ssh
(technically the CVS_RSH variable). A lot of documentation leaves it out as
it is optional on unix, but its required on windows. For example, my
CVSROOT to sourceforge is
':ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/curry'
