And how does it send each file across the network in client/server? (e.g., does it use ftp or something like that?)

When running locally, CVS reads the RCS file and writes the extracted file directly into the checkout directory. When running client/server, the server does a local checkout into a temporary directory and then sends each file across the network connection to the client who writes them into the checkout directory. -Larry Jones I don't want to be THIS good! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
