Yes, the ant script and the cvs repository are on the same server. I looked in root and saw the details where: :extssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs
I then took this and put it into the command. At first I tried to set cvsRsh to extssh but got an error so I tried ssh which prompted me for my password then errored also with: [cvs] cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory [cvs] cvs [update aborted]: no repository <cvs cvsRoot="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs" package="pollywog" cvsRsh="ssh" dest="httpd/mystuff" command="update -d pollywog" /> Thanks!
