Hi All, I am having great difficulties understanding how to set up CVSNT to run in Win2k/XP to serve remote clients. From my research in newsgroups, all similar questions regarding CVSNT and SSH have been answered in the form of "Yes, it can be done" but none is followed by HOW it can be done. References to online manuals don't seem to lead to any definitive information. I would greatly appreciate some detailed help in this matter. I would simply like to run the CVS NT server on a Win2k/XP box and have multiple Win2K/XP clients access a repository over the network. >From all the documentation I have read, it seems the recommendation is to use SSH, not only for security but for stability and portability as well. Let me share what I have done so far. 1. Installed both TortoiseCVS 1.2.2 and WinCVS 1.3 on a Win2K client box 2. Installed CVSNT 2.0.3 on a WinXP server box My questions are: 1. Does CVSNT 2.0.3 come integrated with a SSH server? This is not clear from all the posts or the manual. The installer allows one to select SSH support, but does CVSNT actually have SSH server functionalities? 2. If it does not come with SSH server functionalities, what are the steps to get it working with one, preferrably the free one from Cygwin. Thanks in advance for your help. When in doubt, please include more details rather than less. ;-) -Jeff
