I would like to get read and write access to boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net (to put up some html docs)'
You're using the wrong server, you need to use web.sourceforge.net. Your user name for boost-sandbox should be 'pbristow,boost-sandbox' (i.e. your sourceforge user name, followed by a comma, followed by 'boost-sandbox'). But the ssh access is only for uploading and downloading files, so you won't be able to login directly using ssh or putty. You should be able to use rsync and sftp. Let's try logging in with filezilla (which I don't normally use, but it's cross platform which is useful). Install it from: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client When you run it, enter into the host input box: sftp://pbristow,boost-sandbox@web.sourceforge.net Fill in your password and click 'Quickconnect' and you should have sftp access. If that works then you know you've got write access to the server.
