FW: Checkout issues

Sorry, I should have said:

"the menu option in WinCVS states"

Not "the menu option in Tortoise states"

I'm having flashbacks to Subversion...

Subject: Checkout issues

 

Hi everyone!!!

 

I'm having some issues while trying to use WinCVS to init a remote
repository, and also checkin/checkout from a remote repository.  While
attempting to init, I got the following message:

 

cvs -d:ext:root@<URL of my Repository>/root/cvstest/CVSROOT init 

cvs init: warning: unrecognized response `'ssh' is not recognized as an
internal or external command,

' from cvs server

cvs init: warning: unrecognized response `operable program or batch
file.

' from cvs server

cvs [init aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if
any)

 

When trying to checkout from an (already created) repository, I got the
following error:

 

cvs checkout -- -d:ext:<URL of my repo>/root/MY_CVS/testing (in
directory C:\test_cvs_sandbox)

cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option

cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

 

 

I thought I was specifying the "-d" option???  When I do (pretty much)
the same thing on the command-line client, 

(I use:

  cvs checkout -- -d:ext:<URL of my repo>/root/MY_CVS testing

 the menu option in Tortoise states:

  "Module name and path on server" - which comes first?)

What is going on?  I can ssh into my remote server until I'm blue in the
face.  Why is it complaining about that?

 

Any help would be really, really, really (desperately) appreciated!!!!
