I've had problems in the past with SSH under Cygwin when my username had spaces in it. I don't know if this is still an issue, or related, but thought I'd mention it. Aaron W. LaFramboise

Thing is, you don't need to actually ssh to sourceforge to use cvs, so I don't think any of the steps you show below is needed. But just in case...
$ ssh -l ramey cvs.sourceforge.net Could not create directory '/home/Robert Ramey/.ssh'.
This indicates that your cygwin shell thinks your user name is "Robert Ramey". If you want to eliminate the errors below, you will need to create a directory in /home/Robert Ramey called .ssh. Further, you will need to move your ssh identity files in the .ssh directory. You would normally have an identity.pub and an identity file that serve as you public and private keys respectively. Often it is useful to have a install a 'config' file which helps ssh with some of the parameters like user name. In the config I have something like this: Host *.sf.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity User ramey Protocol 1 This way you don't need the -l all the time.

I think you are tryning to ssh to the wrong place -- I get the same results at that url. Try ssh shell.sf.net instead.

I'm still not sure what any of this has to do with checking in because the only ssh setup I needed to work with boost CVS was an environment variable: CVS_RSH = ssh Then the trick is getting the CVSROOT and such set up correctly so you can do a cvs checkout of the boost tree with your developer account instead of using anonymous.

Yes you do, at least once, in order to get your home directory created on the SF cvs machine. See the SF CVS docs.

This indicates that your cygwin shell thinks your user name is "Robert Ramey". If you want to eliminate the errors below, you will need to create a directory in /home/Robert Ramey called .ssh.
Or you can just set the HOME variable.

This part of the result is expected. It's the issue about being unable to create .ssh that's unexpected.

That's for a different purpose altogether. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

Well, since today was the first time I ever did this and I've been using boost CVS for ages it seems to be strictly optional -- or perhaps this provides some feature I'm not taking advantage of... If you only have to do this once, then Robert has already connected and the local error isn't important.... Jeff

Maybe. Check the SF docs.

The local error indicates there's no usable .ssh directory, which matters for lots of things, e.g. if you don't want to have to supply passwords manually for each CVS command. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

This is your *local* directory. Fix it by setting your HOME environment variable to point at some path you'll use for your cygwin home directory. Mine is "HOME=c:\cygwin\home\dave". -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
