How do I use SSH to work with different servers that need different SSH parameter sets?
The “SSH parameters” in the “Preferences Dialog” are global settings, i.e. TortoiseCVS uses them for every SSH connection. This can be a problem if you need to use different SSH parameter sets for different servers. For example if server1 needs to be accessed through a proxy, and server2 doesn’t, or server1 needs a different private key file than server2. You can handle that by creating different PuTTY sessions: • Download PuTTY from the PuTTY website. • Use PuTTY to create separate PuTTY sessions for each SSH server. Set the session parameters (server name, SSH version etc.) as you need them. Don’t forget to save the session settings. • Try to connect to your server using PuTTY and the newly created PuTTY session. If you’re not able to establish a connection, TortoiseCVS won’t be either. • When doing a “CVS Checkout”, specify the PuTTY session name instead of the actual servername. TortoiseCVS will connect to the server specified in the PuTTY session using the session’s connection par
