File Version Management with CVS SSG November 11, 1999

Remote Access: Client Side

Setting up the client

Change your CVSROOT to something like:

:pserver:joeuser@foo.bar.com:/path/to/cvsroot

Before you can issues any CVS commands, you must:

$ cvs login

and enter your password. CVS stores your crypt()'d password in .cvspass in your home directory for use in future connections. The paranoid may wish to delete this between sessions. Once you have logged in, you may issue cvs commands just the same as you would with a local repository.
