How can I get project code using WinCvs, I've just installed it and I can't find howto online, maybe some help, thank you

In WinCVS 2.1, Click the Remote menu item, and select Checkout code. On this screen click the ... next to CVSROOT, and you should bring up a dialog allowing you to enter the parameters you mention in your question (this is a bit easier to do than trying to enter the string manually).

You'll also need to enter a module name on the server, and a directory to check our the code into, but once you do this and click OK you should start checking out the code.

You have to use WinCVS with the PuTTY SSH tools to be able to connect securely. Check out the description here

The site covers the following steps

  • Download the required materials (WinCvs, PuTTY).
  • Install the PuTTY SSH suite.
  • Install WinCvs.
  • Generate a SSH key pair.
  • Upload your SSH key pair.
  • Configure Pageant (a component of PuTTY).
  • Test your automated authentication.
  • Configure WinCvs.
  • Start using WinCvs

  • Sorry m8 your answer might be correct but it had just too many steps to follow, Johns answer was more simple. Sometimes less is more. Thank you – Gandalf StormCrow Nov 03 '09 at 10:51
  • As I remember your WinCVS doesn't support SSH on it's own. You'll be sending code, username and password in the clear. – Niels Castle Nov 03 '09 at 12:09
