I needed to access my repository from my client's machine so I installed CVSNT. There is no repository on his machine. Will he now be running the server constantly anyway and be consuming extra RAM and be a security liability for ports 2401 and 2402? Is there a better client to install for such a scenario?

CVSNT: which is best for me? Siegfried, Everyone else seems to be giving you good information, but it doesn't help you choose. For most cases you will be better off with CVSNT on windows. 1) CVSNT is both a client and a server. If you plan on running everything on a windows network, CVSNT is the way to go for both parts. 2) the CVSNT client works fine against a CVS server. I use my cvsnt client to connect to a CVS server that is provided by my web hosting provider. So even if you are using a CVS server on linux, you still probably want a cvsNT client on windows. 3) there may be some weird cases where you don't have control over the users machine and they need (want) to run a plain cvs client. You might not be able to use the CVSNT server (but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong). 4) The only reason I can really think of using a CVS (not cvsnt) server on windows is that you are already using cvs on unix and you just want to move the repository over to a windows box. The confusion does exist, but unless you know of a reason, you should probably use CVSNT. Siegfried Heintze wrote: >I'm confused.
