After an expected 'unkown host2 dialog, I got this

Status:	Connecting to web.sourceforge.net...
Response:	fzSftp started
Command:	open "pbristow,boost-sandbox_at_[hidden]" 22
Command:	Trust new Hostkey: Yes

Response:	1316048902
Status:	Timezone offsets: Server: 0 seconds. Local: 3600 seconds. Difference: 3600 seconds.

which looks promising.

But I don't see the boost-sandbox files that I expect to, as at

http://boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/

 only lots of *nixy files including home, users etc.

Is boost-sandbox.CVS where I should be putting my html docs?  Or?

So are you suggesting using sFTP for moving files?  But to where?

So what do you think should be the entries for CVS use? 

So far I've tried

Protocol : secure shell :ext:

Server:   boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge   (also tried boost-sandbox.web.sourceforge)

repository folder:  /cvs/root/boost-sandbox

Username:  pbristow

Module:  boost-sandbox  or ????

CVSROOT   :ext:pbristow_at_boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge:/cvsroot/boost-sandbox

Thanks for your continuing help.
