FW: Checkout issues

Sorry, I should have said:

"the menu option in WinCVS states"

Not "the menu option in Tortoise states"

I'm having flashbacks to Subversion...

Subject: Checkout issues

Hi everyone!!!

I'm having some issues while trying to use WinCVS to init a remote
repository, and also checkin/checkout from a remote repository. While
attempting to init, I got the following message:

cvs -d:ext:root<URL of my Repository>/root/cvstest/CVSROOT init

cvs init: warning: unrecognized response `'ssh' is not recognized as an
internal or external command,

' from cvs server

cvs init: warning: unrecognized response `operable program or batch
file.

' from cvs server

cvs [init aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if
any)

When trying to checkout from an (already created) repository, I got the
following error:

cvs checkout -- -d:ext:<;URL of my repo>/root/MY_CVS/testing (in
directory C:test_cvs_sandbox)

cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option

cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

I thought I was specifying the "-d&quot; option??? When I do (pretty much)
the same thing on the command-line client,

(I use:

cvs checkout -- -d:ext:<;URL of my repo>/root/MY_CVS testing

the menu option in Tortoise states:

"Module name and path on server&quot; - which comes first?)

What is going on? I can ssh into my remote server until I'm blue in the
face. Why is it complaining about that?

Any help would be really, really, really (desperately) appreciated!!!!
