Well, ok. I use my XP (SP1) box (with a self-compiled cvs 1.11.17 on cygwin), set the paths correctly for accessing CVS and SSH, and tried it myself: C:\>cvs co PROJECT (The server is a Linux box, cvs 1.11.20:) The checkout worked flawlessly. Thus, I still vote for the permissions problem. ;-) At least, I do not have an idea what else might be the problem. Remember: On Windows, the administrator does not have unlimited rights like on unix-style machines. You might not have the right to create directories in C:\ itself? I'm leaving the rest for the mailing list; perhaps there will be someone who has an idea and can jump in? > I do have full admin access and what I discovered after I posted > to the mailing list was that > > On XP/2003: If my project does not exist at the root, cvs co -P proj > succeeds, however, if the proj already exists, cvs checkout does not word > and produces the errors I mentioned. > > On NT: If cvs checkout detects the project already exists, it does an > UPDATE instead. > > In both cases, I'm connecting to the main repository on the linux server. > This is a weird behavior I've not seen before. But thanks for your help. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
