Description Robert Upshall CLA 2002-08-26 11:10:07 EDT 
I get the following error when I try to validate a CVS repository on Eclipse 
2.0:

   Unable to Validate
   IO exception occured: Connection refused: cvs server: E cannot open
   h:/cvs/CVSROOT/config: Perission denied. Keep location anyways?

The CVS server is Windows 2000 Professional running CVSNT version 1.11.1.3 
(Build 57g), the H: drive is a mapped network drive to an IFS folder on our 
AS400 server.

If I use the command line cvs client that comes with CVSNT it works fine.  I 
have full access to the network drive and can access it normally via command 
line cvs.  It only fails in the Eclipse client.

When you say that it worked using the command line client, did you use pserver 
or just the local directory name. For me, I could only get the command line 
client working using a local CVSROOT and not with one that used pserver.
Comment 2 Robert Upshall CLA 2002-08-26 14:12:14 EDT 
That is correct, I didn't realize that is how I was accessing it from the 
command line.

Sorry, this looks like a CVSNT issue.

Request for feature:
 CVSNT :local: support.
  I think a broader community will be reached, or will be able to use CVS for 
small projects and companies, if CVSNT is supported by a :local: option in the 
Eclipse window menu.  Presently I only see pserfer and SSH.  thanks.
