Or run cvsup in passive mode. From the manpage,
-P port|lo-hi|-|m
.
.
.
Passive mode is similar in that it also uses two TCP connec-
tions to implement the four unidirectional channels. Howev-
er, in passive mode the client connects to the server to cre-
ate the second TCP connection. Passive mode can be useful
when the client is behind a firewall that allows outbound
connections, but denies most incoming connections. To select
passive mode, use the option -P -. Passive mode cannot be
used through a SOCKS proxy server.
I have no special openings in my firewall for CVSup, but passive mode
works like a charm.
