I have not used ssh or passwords. In this case, they are not needed either. Here is how I have to setup
I have my CVS repository on a unix server that I have to access from cygwin.
I map my private branch as a windows mapped drive (from windows explorer Tools->Map Network Drive...).
This mapped drive shows up as a new drive (in this case "y" and "z").
I am able to browse and read/write into these mapped drives (they do get reflected on unix).
However,
I am not even able to read those folders through cygwin which is vital
because my Intel compiler is usable only through that option.
I am able to navigate the directories through cygwin, but read and write fail.
Thanks
