Hi Using different CVS clients one notes the absence of :ssh: support. I presume it's a proprietary extension of cvsnt, right? TortoiseCVS uses the cvsnt client but it comes without ssh_protocol.dll (and copying it there doesn't help). Now I found out one can also use :ext: plus $CVS_RSH set to plink.exe. And it works, as long as I don't set the CVSNT server to "Require Encryption". If I do I get E:\workspace>cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.34 (client/server) ... E:\workspace>echo %CVS_RSH% C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe E:\workspace>cvs -d:ext:cvs.trilab.ch:/trilab version cvs [version aborted]: This protocol does not support encryption Strangely on the same machine I can use cygwin cvs.exe plus cygwin ssh.exe with the :ext: protocol and it works even if "Require Encryption" is set on the server. Why does cygwin cvs work? What security do I lose if I leave the cvsnt server on "Request Encryption"? Any ideas how do configure cvsnt to work with :ext: AND "Require Encryption"? Thanks, Mark
