>If you are an official SourceForge developer, then you can use CVS with write
access. The CVS contains the most recent copy of the source code, and with
write access you can upload any changes you make to the CVS server for others
to use. A few extra steps are required the first time you use CVS write
access.</P

yourself. The links below should help you get going.</P

>Next, you need to use secure shell to connect to cvs.sf.net. This step is a
little strange, because you can't actually log in and get a shell prompt. All
that will happen, when you get the username and password right, is that it
will create a home directory on that machine for you. That's it! If you try
it again, it will say "This is a restricted Shell Account. You cannot execute
anything here." At this point, you've succeeded and you never have to do
this step again, ever.

Just type yes. When it asks for a password, be sure to type your source
forge password. If you have trouble logging in, be sure to use your SOURCE
FORGE username and password in the ssh line, which isn't necessarily the same
as your local username and password. Add the "-v" option to ssh to see more
information about what is failing. If you have ssh version 2, it is possible
that you might need to add "-1" to the ssh command to force it to use the
version 1 protocol. </P
