It's file based and very asynch in nature. You don't need the shared file system and I am not sure that cvsnt allows "network drives" as repository location. You have to use the cvs program to check things in/out so file base connectivity might be ok. You are using eclipse...it will work with the cvs on the linux box very nicely.
So...pick a place on the unix box, initialize the space, follow the direction for setting up the pserver and you are in business. You can use eclipse to do all the hard part in one felt swoop. It makes it very simple to "import" and "checkout for a sandbox" your project The eclipse help "Team programming with CVS" - good overview "Creating a CVS repository location" - details how to use the server with eclipse. jack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of C.

Okay, between this comment and several mentions in CVS tutorials I have come to the conclusion that I am looking at my situation from the wrong perspective. Let me explain my situation and see if anyone has any suggestions. I have a desktop at work that I have set up as a "devel" server. It i , I had originally set it ups currently running CFMX Developer Ed, Apache 2, MSSQL 2000 Developer and MySQL. I use CFEclipse to edit my source-files on that machine. I also have a dual-boot laptop that I take with me. On both sides (Linux and Windows) I have CFMX Dev and Apache 2, however I am pointing the datasources to my work network where I have routed the ports to my dev machine. On Windows I have a program called Mount Everything that I use to access the Linux partition. In doing this I have managed to set Apache up on Windows to point to the public_html folder in my user directory... in effect creating a shared system between the two operating systems on the same machine. What I want to be able to do is provide a seamless method to synchronize the files from the laptop to the desktop. My initial thought was to set up CVS for this and make the "repository" the root web directory however it sounds to me like I'm looking at the problem from the wrong angle. If I had Dreamweaver/Homesite I could simply set up RDS access, however that would only work on the Windows side of things. My other thought was to set up FTP services, however maintenance for a FTP solution would become increasingly cumbersome as more projects are added. Anyone have a suggestion on what I should do for this? I have some "extra hardware" lying around, including another desktop that is on the network. Should I be running CVS on the secondary desktop (which is basically running file and print sharing services and acts as a "general access" machine for a few remote users when they need to use a Windows box, darn QuickBooks Online) or is there another solution that I'm not seeing here? Oh, one last thing to note - I'm the developer, network administrator, database administrator, project manager and owner here (aka root). Permission is not an issue. Thanks!
