I would like to get read and write access to boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net (to put up some html docs)' I have tried to follow the instructions on Sourceforge.net and believe that I have stored a SSH key because I can login thus using PuTTY "login as: pbristow pbristow@boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net's password: Last login: Thu Sep 15 12:58:36 2011 from 53-133.radnet-kendal.kencomp.net Welcome to *.cvs.sourceforge.net This is a restricted Shell Account You cannot execute anything here." PuTTY Window says "Connection closed by remote host." If I repeat I get login as: pbristow pbristow@boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net's password: Last login: Thu Sep 15 12:59:41 2011 from 53-133.radnet-kendal.kencomp.net Welcome to *.cvs.sourceforge.net This is a restricted Shell Account You cannot execute anything here. whose changed last login date suggests that I am logging in OK - so I know my username and password OK. (or does the fact that I am asked for a password mean that my SSH authentication is wrong?) When I try to CVS checkout, (using a variety of module names (fetch modules list option is not available?) I get PuTTY Fatal error "Network error: connection timed out." cvs [checkout aborted] : end of file from server (consult above messages if any) - and there are no messages :-( Please can any Sourceforge CVS users advise? Thank you. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

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.

That's the right place, the website files are in 'htdocs' (full path '/home/project-web/boost-sandbox/htdocs'). If you have an ftp client you prefer, you should use that, filezilla doesn't have the greatest user interface. I just went for it as it was convenient.
So are you suggesting using sFTP for moving files? But to where?
I'd recommend using rsync, but failing that sftp is the next best option. What I've been doing is uploading library files into 'libs' on the site. So for library 'foo', I'd upload the contents of 'lib/foo/' to 'htdocs/libs/foo/'. But only upload that directory so that it doesn't mess with anything else on the server.
So what do you think should be the entries for CVS use?
CVS is not used at all for the website.

No, FileZilla is fine.

Yes.

htdocs/libs/checks/doc/html/index.html
In your repository 'libs/checks/index.html' should redirect to 'libs/checks/doc/html/index.html' which should then redirect to 'http://boost-sandbox.sourceforget.net/libs/checks/doc/html/index.html'. When you build the documentation it will overwrite 'libs/checks/doc/html/index.html' so then 'libs/checks/index.html' will then redirect to the offline copy. You can see that in practise in the geometry documentation.

If I go to that directory it appears empty, but I can still get to '/home/project-web/boost-sandbox' by entering it into the 'remote site' input box. I think it's a quirk of how their ftp server is setup.

Bizarre, but You are correct and have created a libs/checks/doc directory and can transfer files to it, but now find that I need to first remove /html from svn. Doh! Wish I hadn't ever done that but it allowed Pierre my GSoC student to see my output without building it :-( But I sortof expected to see http://boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/... now containing /checks/doc/... does the GNU tarball at http://boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/boost-sandbox/website/htdocs... actually contain my new stuff?
