An example...

Configure SSH to use specific settings for the website:

  
homy07:/root # cat .ssh/config 
>Host cmo.rackboost.be
>Port 222
>User your_user_name

Accept the initial fingerprint and test the ssh connection:

  
homy07:/root # ssh cmo.rackboost.be
> accept fingerprint by answering "yes" 
> type your password : ******
> exit

Export some environment variables (or put them in your .profile):

  
homy07:/root # export CVSROOT=:ext:cmo.rackboost.be:/CVSROOT
homy07:/root # export CVS_RSH=ssh

Note: if the CVSROOT var seems incorrect the set the username, like this... your_user_name@cmo.rackboost.be

Do some CVS stuff (make shure you have cvs installed):

  
homy07:/root # cvs checkout cmo
homy07:/root # mkdir testje ; cp source* testje/ ; cd testje
homy07:/root/cmo # cvs add -m "test wvh" ./testje/*
homy07:/root/cmo # cvs commit
homy07:/root/cmo # cvs history
