Accessing a Remote Repository via a Network (http://www.felixgers.de/teaching/cvs/remote.html) has the following juicy tidbit [HTML3 elements replaced w/ XHTML elements -ed]: 

Connecting with rsh or ssh:

CVS uses the rsh of ssh protocol to access a remote repository.

CVS uses the contents of the CVS_RSH variable to determine the name of the remote shell command to use when starting a CVS server. If this variable is not set then ‘rsh’ is used. To use ssh set: 

 shell> export CVS_RSH=ssh

Example:  Supposing you want to access the module ’foo‘ in the repository ‘/cvsroot/’, on machine ‘gnu.org’: 

 cvs -d :ext:bach@gnu.org/cvsroot checkout foo

The ‘bach@’ can be omitted if the username is the same on both the local and remote hosts.

A new Windows SSH client has come onto the radar: Bitvise

Of particular interest is the FTP <-> SFTP (SSH) client-side bridging functionality of the Tunnelier SFTP software. This widget creates transparent, secured, tunneled bridging between standard Windows FTP client applications and SFTP (SSH) servers. This is something that's been needed for quite some time, imo.

See Using Tunnelier to Connect to an SFTP Server with an FTP Client (from bitvise).

Ran across this bit in the Ubuntu Wordpress Blog: How to Mount a Remote SSH Filesystem using sshfs

The sshfs can be used to mount and unmount remote file systems in user space over an SSH tunnel.

The sshfs program was not installed by default.

This program (sshfs) is relate to the FUSE user-space file system architecture.

1. create /media/<MOUNTPOINTNAME>
2. chown the newly created directory to belong to the current user
3. issue 'sshfs user@host:/path /media/<MOUNTPOINTNAME>' to mount the remote filesystem
