Disclaimer!This is a quick guide to what I did to get
WinCVS going on my WINDOWS 2000 laptop (April 2003).
There will not be total hand-holding here...
I will just point
you to the documentation where you can find the necessary
steps.
You should plan to spend an hour on this!!
NB: I switched to a mac in May 2003, so this may
be obsolete now.
Save these files to a directory called Putty within your
Program Files directory.
Go to the Docs page on the above website, and read what
you need to know about ssh, etc. In particular, go through
Chapters 8 and 9 and make sure that you can get pageant going, and
connect a Putty shell without typing your password! I used SSH1-RSA.
Installing WinCVS
Go to http://www.wincvs.org
and download the latest WinCVS. Install it! I got
the beta version, 1.3.12.1.
Configuring WinCVS
This is the trickiest part, so I'll try to include more
detail here.
In Admin->Preferences section, do the following...
Set "Authentication" to ssh.
Set path to /mrsrl/home/cvs/depot
Set Host address to a linux lab machine, dr2.stanford.edu
Set User name.
CVSROOT should look something like you@dr2.stanford.edu/mrsrl/home/cvs/depot
Now go into Settings, next to Authentication, and do the following:
Check RSA and enter C:\Program Files\Putty\identityfilename
Check SSH client and enter C:\Program Files\Putty\plink.exe
Check Additional SSH options and enter -l yourloginid
Test It
Go to Remote->Checkout Module.
Enter "samplegrant" as the Module name and path on server.
Select a folder to check out to, and selct OK.
If this works, be very very thankful!
If this does not work, please update this web page when
you figure out how to make it work.
