[NTLUG:Discuss] Anyone using netbeans with a CVS server over SSL?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Richard:

I generated a authorization key pair using the ssh utilities.

Then, I went to netbeans and started a new project.  I
went to the file system and tried to mount a CVS filesystem.

I set the CVS_RSH to
C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell\ssh2.exe
since I am using secure shell from ssh.com.

When I go to check out the module, it simply hangs. 

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
	Neil
