Ok. I was able to get a private key setup and running so that it logs me in. Now I am running into another problem. I can connect to the server. In fact, in WinCVS, I can even do a create which gives me the following reply in WinCVS:
cvs init

*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

Now. When I go again and click on a file to add (testz.php), then click on the "Add Selected" button, I get this:
cvs add testz.php (in directory C:\ijobs\cvs\)
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

Is there something else that I have to do to get administration files into the directory? What are the administration files? As it is, here are the files that are in the CVSROOT directory that I am trying to access:
.#checkoutlist .#rcsinfo config loginfo,v taginfo,v
.#commitinfo .#taginfo config,v modules val-tags
.#config .#verifymsg cvswrappers modules,v verifymsg
.#cvswrappers Emptydir/ cvswrappers,v notify verifymsg,v
.#editinfo checkoutlist editinfo notify,v
.#loginfo checkoutlist,v editinfo,v rcsinfo
.#modules commitinfo history rcsinfo,v
.#notify commitinfo,v loginfo taginfo

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

I am hoping that someone might be able to help me. My customer can't do without a GUI to work with cvs. I am not knowledgeable with either wincvs or cvs. Anyway, I get the following error when trying to click on the "Add Selected" button in wincvs.
(The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not what I have entered. I changed it here for security reasons).

cvs add testz.php (in directory C:\ijobs\cvs\)
cvs add: warning: unrecognized response `Password:

In the WinCVS preferences, I have:
General
Enter the CVSROOT
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot
Authentication
SSH Server
Ports
Check for an alternate rsh name (checked)
c:\putty\plink.exe
I know they can login to the server with SSH manually. Actually, I am testing it with my account.
Yes, but when you log in to the account, you have to enter username/password, don't you? What you need to do is set up plink with a key for the account that you wish to log in with. You will need to consult the plink instructions/manual to determine how to do this. Note that you will then need to take appropriate measures to guard that key, which will be stored in plaintext in a file on your Windows machine.
