[TortoiseCVS] Tortoise CVs problem with ssh using Windows 7

[Sharpe, Robert]

I use Tortoise CVS version 1.12.5 in conjuction with an ssh server, I have created the keys and I can logon the Unix box we use as the CVS repository ok - with out typing in the password - which proves that the key works.

My problem occurs when I go to a Checkout for the first time. I get asked for the Tortoise CVS password. I try the password and key phrase both to the Unix box and neither work.

I then get the following error message

In C:\CVS\Checkout: "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -q checkout -P src/dbscripts/Tables_KPI
CVSROOT=:ssh:***@etlwork-kn-d1:/grid/ciw_cvs/cvs_repository

cvs [checkout aborted]: writing to server socket: error -1
Access denied
No supported authentication methods left to try!

Error, CVS operation failed



Does anyone have any suggestions.

Hi Robert,



Do you have the Putty Agent running with your PK stored? CVSNT will
grab the PK from Putty Agent if it's available for that server /
username and you won't get prompted.



You can set up a startup task or cmd file to load the PK conveniently
with this command:



PATH\TO\pageant.exe PATH\TO\your.ppk





Alternatively, I believe if you have a Putty profile that specifies the
username, host, and PPK to use then you can pass the profile title to
CVSNT in place of the hostname and it'll pick up the settings from
there. E.g. your CVSROOT would look like
":ssh:MYPUTTYPROFILE:/grid/ciw_cvs/cvs_repository ". I don't use that
method myself, but I think it would work.
