@CVS Gurus : need help with SSH

[vlad59]

I try to connect with SSH to a sourceforge CVS repository. With pserver I got no problem at all but it's read only.

I have a bat file like that :

set CVS_RSH=ssh
set HOME=c:\HOME
cvs -d:ext:vlad59@cvs.save-oe.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/save-oe checkout save-oe

From I've read about CVS it should work but I got the following output :

Password: <-- Here I typed my password
Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/v/vl/vlad59: No such file or directory
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/users/v/vl/vlad59): No such file or directory

Where are my mistakes ?????

Thanks in advance

Hi Vlad -

I am not at all a CVS guru. I seriously don't understand it. But I've managed to muddle through it for a few projects by using the WinCVS GUI. For save-oe I set the CVS root as:

:ext:trbarry@cvs.save-oe.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/save-oe

the Authentication as SSH Server and the Home directory as c:\ssh


For Win2K/XP I think you may also have to delete or change some Hosts file to avoid an error but I don't know the details.

@Tom
Thanks a lot for trying to help me.

@Everybody
I finaly found it :

http://sourceforge.net/docman/displa...765&group_id=1

When I try to use CVS it tells me that "/home/users/[account name]" does not exist.

You need to ssh into your account on the CVS server once before attempting to use CVS for the first time. Sshing in will cause your home directory to be created.

so I just made a :

ssh -l vlad59 cvs.save-oe.sourceforge.net

And it worked perfectly.
