| <h2>Using WinCvs to Work with Project Source Files</h2> |
| |
| <p>If you are using MS Windows, you can use the graphical client called WinCvs to access a project's version controlled source code files. WinCvs looks and behaves similar to Windows Explorer. You can <a href="http://www.collab.net/developers/tools/">download WinCvs</a> on line and install it on your machine.</p> |

| |
| <h3><a id="gettingstarted" name="gettingstarted">Getting Started</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>After downloading and installing WinCvs, make a new directory on your hard disk where you will store your working copy of the project's source files. A good name for this directory is the one-word name of the project files you need. If you are working on more than one project, you may wish to make a general "<em>projects cvs</em> " folder, and then create subfolders for each project by name.</p> |
| |
| <p>Select the "<em>project</em>" directory in the WinCvs program's left-hand pane. (If you do not see your newly created projects directory right away, you may need to refresh your view.) If your project directory is on a different drive not displayed in the left-hand WinCvs pane, you will need to use the <strong>Browse Location>Change</strong> command under the <strong>View</strong> menu. Be sure to double click on the drive or directory you want before clicking <strong>OK</strong>.</p> |

| |
| <h3><a id="settingcvsroot" name="settingcvsroot">Setting up CVSroot</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>First you must define the location of the WinCvs main repository, the CVSROOT. If you are only working on one project at a time, you only need to set up the cvsroot setup once, i.e. the first time you use WinCvs to access the project's source repository through this site.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>From the <strong>Admin</strong> menu and select <strong>Preferences</strong></li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the CVS root in the in the CVS Root field on the <strong>General</strong> tab. The CVS root should appear as: <i>[:pserver:username@projectname.domain.net:/cvs]</i></li> |
| |
| <li>Click on <strong>Authentication</strong> then change the drop down menu to <em>"passwd file on the cvs server"</em>.</li> |
| |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Global</strong> tab.</li> |
| |
| <li>Uncheck the "<strong>Checkout read-only</strong>" checkbox.</li> |
| |
| <li>Click on the <strong>Proxy</strong> tab.</li> |
| |
| <li>Check the "<strong>Connect using a proxy server</strong>" checkbox.</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter the host name or IP of proxy. For example: [<i>www.projectname.domain</i>]</li> |
| |
| <li>Enter port number for the proxy. For example: [<i>1080</i>]</li> |
| </ol> |
