What is the syntax for using cvs.exe as a client (from a dos command window on winnt sp6) with sserver protocol? I have tried this: set CVSROOT=:sserver:user at domain.com:2401/path/cvsrepo cvs update and I get "this server requires an encrypted connection" -- which is correct -- I want to use an encrypted connection. Why isn't the client using one if the protocol is sserver? Are there some required .pem files and if so how do I figure out which ones? I can use the repository from another machine running Tortoise CVS (using same user account), so I believe the server is configured properly. Note: the client machine is one that I have had trouble with before. cvsnt will not install onto it (install dies), so I copy the files from another machine. Tortoise CVS installs but cannot operate (don't know why). I had this working with pserver but no longer want to use that for security reasons. Thanks very much. Ann
