SSHDOS has an SSH, SCP, SFTP and telnet client for DOS. http://sshdos.sourceforge.net/ PuTTY is an SSH1+SSH2 implementation for Windows (not MS-DOS only). CVS (from cvshome.org) has a cvs.exe that should work in the DOS command window of a Windows box. I do not know how much MS Windows support is required of if you really mean a MS-DOS only environment or a DOS window on a Windows machine. CVSNT (from cvsnt.org) has a both a 'graphical' interface and a command-line backend for Windows environments. > Currently, I checkout the sandbox in Windows and move it to DOS via > Windows shares.
