We are now up to 4 members, as of April 11. I think that it would be best if we post any questions about using SourceForge, whether it has to do with CVS, or getting files, or whatever, here in this forum rather than on the general Codebook Forum on my site. The messages in the Developers forum will only be visible to registered developers, not the general public.

Yes, but I was waiting to hear if you succeeded. What I did was click the "Install Cygwin Now" button on their homepage. That button's URL is http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. I chose "Run this program from its current location" in the dialog that popped up in IE. From there, it downloaded what it needed. I don't remember how long it took, but I have a pretty fast connection.

Thanks. I just managed to download and then install Cygwin now is the turn for SSH. It's still at about 60% download and then I'll be installaing it. Trouble you then.
We have slow connections here and plus this was coming without a DL manager and a dropped connection will make me restart the whole thing. Luckily Cygwin comes with it's own DL management.

I am done with DL. Have also installed SSH. I was trying to login to cvs.codebook.sourceforge.net in using SSH, I was asked to save the public key and I did but I keep on getting the message that I could not get a secure connection.
Cygwin I'm lost.
CVS logs in to cvs.codebook.sourceforge.net but nothing happens.
Which of these three have I to use normally and do I have to start them all to get a connection.

Did you follow the steps in the CVS/SSH guide (http://www.jfipa.org/publications/CVSGuide/)? Did you run:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
to generate your keys? Did you then copy the private key to [cygwin]\home\venussoftop\.ssh\?
Try to follow the guide listed above as much as possible. You can obviously skip the part about setting up the CVS files on the server, as they are already there.

Any easy way to download Cygwin. I have to run www.cygwin.com\setup.exe and ask it to start downloading. It seems it is a huge download. I had to break off and restart setup these a days.
The file naming of SSH has all changes I downloaded one ZIP that I felt was it, but it turned out to be sources. Currently I have ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/SSHWinClient-3.1.0-build235.exe scheduled for download I hope this is the right one.
CVS I already have installed on my machine. But I guess I have to wait till I complete all downloads.

Thanks Ed for the URL.
I have succesfully executed the following in Cygwin:
export CVSROOT=":ext:developer@serbox.domain.com:/usr/local/cvsrepository"
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
but I cannot seem to chdir to the directory already existing on my HDD
cd /vso3/CVSWork/CodeBook
I am stuck here.
Please clarify have I to use WinCVS, SSH Secure Shell or Cygwin. Or have I to use all three of them in conjunction.
I started a new thread. I hope that it will make things clearer.
