Rene, I've entered what you suggeted and WinCVS said: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost init cvs init: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password cvs [server aborted]: "init" requires write access to the repository What should I do next? I _don't_need_ write-access, actually. My target is only to get current versions of some files (w/o checking them out) and check what files from repository differ from my local copies.

Hi! I need read-only access to boost repositiry.

I've downloaded and installed WinCVS+Python but cannot open the repository. In Remote->Init Settings->CVSROOT I've checked it and entered:

pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost

and the response was:

cvs -d pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost init [...] What's wrong?

According to http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586 the CVSROOT needs to be ":pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost". I.e. you missed the ":" at the front.

An addition. In Admin->Login I entered server path ":pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost" and just pressed "Ok" w/o entering password, when prompted: us@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401:/cvsroot/boost ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** So, it looks like I've logged in correctly. How should I get to remote boost repository tree now?
