Try using '/' instead of '\'. Alternatively, double up the '\'s. I'm not sure exactly why this is necessary (something to do with being platform-neutral) but it has worked for me in other scenarios.

I first log in to cvs using the normal cvs command line cvs login. I then issue my command to ant to checkout my source code. The command fails with an authentication problem. Supplying the -debug option to ant reveals the equivalent command line that it is trying to execute. I then execute this command line and it works fine. Why does it not work through ant? I have an ant rule: <target name="cvsian"> <cvs command="checkout" passfile="c:\.cvspass" package="module/dir2" dest="e:\temp5"/> </target> I run it with: >ant -debug cvsian I get this output: cvsian: Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: cvs checkout vista/webct [cvs] cvs checkout: authorization failed: server cvs.cobalt.webct.com reje cted access to /cvs for user ihyatt BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 2 seconds Now I try on the dos command line: E:\projects\webct\build>e: E:\projects\webct\build>cd\temp5 E:\temp5>cvs checkout vista/webct ? module/dir2/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml cvs server: Updating module/dir2 it works.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
