CVS details for Editors

If you want to access using an CVS editor (for example TortoiseCVS) the sourceforge CVS servers, you need to use the following configuration settings:


 * protocol: ssh
 * server: owasp.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/owasp

Accessing OWASP CVS

 * One way is to browse the CVS online by going to the OWASP Source Tree
 * Another way is to configure your CVS client to download the source locally. Instructions for this can be found here

Configuring CVS access using tortoise CVS behind a proxy
These are the steps you need to take:


 * Install the latest version of Tortoise CVS (from http://www.tortoisecvs.org/)
 * Create a connection using Putty to your proxy with the following tunnel:
 * Source port: 22
 * Destination: 66.35.250.83:22
 * Try SSHing into 127.0.0.1:22 you should get a ssh login priompt (after accepting sourceforge ssh fingerprint)
 * On the place where you want the project to be located, click on CVS Checkout and use these settings:
 * Protocol: Secure Shell(:ssh:)
 * Server: 127.0.0.1
 * Repository folder: /cvsroot/owasp
 * User name: {username}:{password} (only use this for testing, once it is working see this for details on how to use ssh keys http://blogs.sun.com/alanbur/entry/using_netbeans_with_sourceforge)
 * Module: dotnet/ReportGenerator
 * click on 'Fetch List' to test connections (you should get no errors)
