UWS as programmer you should be familiar with reading documentations how else did you learn to write your own FTP client.
Tortoise comes with enough details to get you started and this also means for CVS.

If you want to dive in the CVS capabilities read the Cederqvist ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/

Or CVS server for Windows NT www.march-hare.com/cvs...res/cvsnt/
NOTE: they offer a Suite for £85 which mostly consists of freeware so don't get tricked

Reading what's that... lol...
20 years of flying by the seat of my pants...
I'm a guy... there is no manual you just jump right in and make it work... lol

Do you remember

IBM

• GWBASIC GOTO 10...
• QBASIC
• EDLIN
• Visual Basic the begining... lol

Macintosh

• Hypercard
  

Okay all kidding aside...
I'm just going to have to setup one of these CVS serevr on my network and play with it...

I'm pretty much a spounge when it comes to coding
Spelling on the other had, i blame on my typing... shhh...

K, i'm testing this TortoiseCVS app

On my desktop i have
Dir:CVS

• Dir:CVS - nice green check mark on it...
• Dir:CVS
  
  • File:Entries
  • File:Repository
  • File:.Root
• File:config.php
• File:install.php
• File:.cvsignore

I've copied my server files to my local computer so that i can play with this...
Dir:HTML

• Dir:admin
• Dir:blocks
• Dir:Ect., Ect.
• File:banners.php
• File:admin.php
• File:Ect., Ect.

I've moved it a couple times...
But just not getting anything to kick in...
What am i doing wrong?
How do i get this to start running...
Is it like URL app e.g. connection info
Going to have to go over you post agin...

1) create a new folder on desktop
2) right click on folder and select cvs update
3) fill in settings for the cvs you wish to connect to
4) click on and it will update d/l all files to that folder

okay now we're getting somewhere...
Just need to find connection info... thnaxs...

check the CVS forum.. its in one of those posts for sure

I'm so close i could scream...

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cpgnuke.com:/cvs

Has this changed in anyway... i get a password required...

Setting...

CVSROOT = cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cpgnuke.com:/cvs
Protocol = Secure shell(:ext)
Protocol parameters = NULL
Server = cpgnuke.com
Port = NULL
Repository folder /cvs
user name = cvs -d :pserver:anonymous

Module = i'm guesing the folder in which i want files to be grabbed.
FETCH LIST gives my a password required...
and then i abort and get the really annoying glass break...
OK button disabled as if i'm missing a parameter...

use html as module, that give all core file. there is no password under anonymous as username

Okay i got it working...
No problem found it just decide to work...
I knew it wasn't me... I feel much better...
I love software designed like this...
Can't blame the Coder(s) that designed it for M$ OS.
Got to blame the old nOObs at M$ for the crap OS.
Makes me want to go work at M$ and teach them a few things... Like don't release unless done...
I've bought every version that M$ has released...
XP being the first OS i like.
Vista better be true 64bit OS or i'm going Linux...

win98se was the first windoze i liked, and the last as well. And that thing crashed like crazy....

(i suppose win 2k3 isn't tooo bad).

yeah, cvs can be confusing at first but it really isn't that bad. cvs/svn are very helpfull systems, especially if you distribute your dfcms modules as the checkout of the stable branch of your cvs, then updating to the newest version via ssh is siiiiimple.
