I just ran into the same problem with cvs export. The command line I am trying is: cvs export -Dnow -d c:\placetogo moduletoexport I am able to export to an absolute path name (on a mounted drive) with an old cygwin cvs.exe but doing a similar export with cvs.exe from cvsnt fails. Does the comment below mean that this will never work in cvsnt because it is a potential security hole? I am trying to script the publishing of material onto an ftp server and web server. Is there a better way of doing this?
