You can check out from a Windows box directly. WinCVS works fine for this purpose. It's setup and making it use an SSH key is always a bit confusing for me, but that's because of my little experience with Windows software. It can be done though...

True. But it was described "below" because your reply was top-posted. Top-posting is annoying in many little ways, so I manually fixed it. Good luck with CVS :-) Oh, and another thing. If you have more technical questions like this, please post them on freebsd-questions. That's the proper list. - Giorgos
