I'm try to use CVSNT, going from a Win 2K system to CVS repository on a Linux box, using ssh via Plink.
TortoiseCVS works fine. WinCVS works fine. If I do a:
"plink -l jgherman servername.com "cvs --help"
cvs on the remote system lists its options. So, I know my secure connection to the Linux system is OK. Doing a command line cvs checkout using CVSNT only gets me a fairly useless "Unable to open connection". I've set CVS_EXT=plink.exe, so I know its using plink. Plink dir is in my path. CVSROOT looks OK.
I know both TortoiseCVS and WinCVS use CVSNT behind the scenes - exactly how I'm not sure - maybe using the cvsgui protocol?
BTW - the reason I need to use CVSNT is that I need command line CVS access. I'm trying to set up a CruiseControl automated build system.
Interestingly, TortiseCVS, when you do an operation, shows you exactly how it invokes cvsnt. You try the same thing from a command line, and it fails with "unable to connect".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
