CVS

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I try to use Dev-C++ (v4.9.7.0, windows) CVS feature  with a repository in a Linux server only listening on ssh port.

When I look into the CVS ouput window I see :

>> Running "cvs -z0 -d :ext:fbr@10.80.0.11:/home/repository/cvs checkout JoLoD" (in "C:\")

and nothing happend...

Now, if I run this command in a dos box (I set the CVS_RSH variable to ssh), it works:

C:\>cvs -z0 -d :ext:fbr@10.80.0.11:/home/repository/cvs checkout JoLoD
fbr@10.80.0.11's password:
cvs server: Updating JoLoD
U JoLoD/global.h
[...]

The only difference is the request for password from linux server. Dev-C++ don't see this request...  So, where I can define the password in Dec-C++ ??

Thx in advance

It is supposed to prompt for the pasword...

But for some strange reason it is not catching the password request. This seems to happen with the cygwin version of ssh.

This matter is under investigation though. When we find the problem, there will be a fix about it.

It does not work with plink from putty,
It does not work with SecureShellClient from ssh.com, ...
uh...  do you know a compatible command line ssh client ?

Thx

If you want a sledgehammer to crack a nut (like me - 'coz it works) I use WinCVS but I only use the command line option under the Admin menu.

P.S. When someone finds out how to use CVS on windows please let me know.
