I'm not sure what WinCVS will do - it will either prompt for a password (annoying) or fail without asking (not useful). I no longer have access to any Windows machines to test this. As an alternative, you could always alter the ssh server setup (often in <code>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code>) to allow key based authentication although this may be problematic if you don't admin the server.

What if the SSH server does not allow a key-based authorization? I heard about that somewhere and I am not sure how deal with this in the example provided here. One question..

I also no longer have access to a PC to rewrite this guide, but I'll leave the page up in case anyone decides that running Windows 95 is the right thing for them to do...
