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.
After an expected 'unkown host2 dialog, I got this Status: Connecting to web.sourceforge.net... Response: fzSftp started Command: open "pbristow,boost-sandbox@web.sourceforge.net" 22 Command: Trust new Hostkey: Yes Error: Server unexpectedly closed network connection Error: Could not connect to server Status: Waiting to retry... Status: Delaying connection for 1 second due to previously failed connection attempt... Status: Connecting to web.sourceforge.net...

Command: mtime "htdocs" Response: 1316048902 Status: Timezone offsets: Server: 0 seconds. Local: 3600 seconds. Difference: 3600 seconds. Status: Directory listing successful which looks promising. But I don't see the boost-sandbox files that I expect to, as at http://boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/ only lots of *nixy files including home, users etc. Is boost-sandbox.CVS where I should be putting my html docs? Or? So are you suggesting using sFTP for moving files? But to where? So what do you think should be the entries for CVS use? So far I've tried Protocol : secure shell :ext: Server: boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge (also tried boost-sandbox.web.sourceforge) repository folder: /cvs/root/boost-sandbox Username: pbristow Module: boost-sandbox or ???? CVSROOT :ext:pbristow@boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge:/cvsroot/boost-sandbox Thanks for your continuing help. Paul --- Paul A.
