Now you forget ssh; it was just used to verify that you can logon.

Now

* create a boost-cvs directory.  (use a different name if you prefer)

* start WinCVS.

* set admin->preferences per prior posting.

* click on the explore tab, and select the boost-cvs directory. (use the 
View/browser->Change browse location dialog to make boost-cvs your default 
module)

* Use Create->Checkout module to selection dialog (with module name and 
path on server set to "boost" to checkout the boost files.  You will be 
asked for your password via a command box.  On my Win2k machine 1) it is 
hidden by the CVS window and, 2) displays no prompt.  Acts a bit 
differently on my Win95 laptop, but same idea.  Enter your password.  You 
should see the files downloading in the lower log window.  If this works, 
read access is OK.

* Modify a file (after, clicking the little pencil icon on the toolbar, or 
doing trace->edit) and commit it back to the repository (using 
Modify->commit).  Entering the password each time, unless you have stored 
identity.pub info on the S/F server.  If all this works, you have write 
access and are basically in business.
