 <H1 CLASS="Head">Creating a CVS repository location</H1>

 <P><em>Prerequisite</em>: A CVS server must already be configured on the host machine to create a
 valid repository location in the Workbench.
 </P>

 <P>To create a new repository location:
 </P>

 <ol>
   <li>Open the CVS Repositories view by selecting
   <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView)")'>
   <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link">
   <b>Window &gt; Show View &gt; Other... &gt; CVS &gt; CVS Repositories</b></a>.
   Alternatively, the CVS Repositories view is also shown in the
   <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective(org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective.perspectiveId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.cvsPerspective)")'>
   <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link">
   CVS Repository Exploring</a> perspective.</li>
   <li>On the toolbar, click on <strong>Add CVS Repository</strong> (or from the
     context menu of the CVS Repositories View, select <b>New &gt; Repository Location</b>).
     The Add CVS Repository wizard opens.</li>
   <li>Enter the information required to identify and connect to the repository
     location:
     <ol type="a">
       <li>In the <b> Host </b> field, type the address of the host. (For example:
         <samp>mymachine.com)</samp>. </li>
       <li>In the <b> Repository path </b> field, type the path to the repository
         on the host (for example <samp>/home/repo, d:/repo.)</samp></li>
       <li>In the <b> User </b> field, type the user name under which you want
         to connect to the repository. </li>
       <li>In the <b>Password</b> field, type the password for the above user name.</li>
       <li> From the <b> Connection Type</b> list, select the authentication protocol
         of the CVS server.&nbsp; There are three connection methods that come
         with the Eclipse CVS client:
         <ul>
           <li><b>pserver</b> - a CVS specific connection method.</li>
           <li><b>extssh</b> - an SSH 2.0 client included with Eclipse</li>
           <li><b>pserverssh2</b> - provides a pserver connection over ssh2.</li>
           <li><b>ext</b> - the CVS ext connection method which uses an external
             tool such as SSH to connect to the repository. The tool used by ext
             is configured in the <b>Team &gt; CVS &gt; EXT Connection Method</b>
             preference page. </li>
         </ul>
       </li>
       <li>If the host uses a custom port, enable <b>Use Port</b> and enter the
         port number.</li>
     </ol>
   </li>
   <li><em>Optional:</em> Select <b>Validate Connection on Finish</b> if you want to authenticate
     the specified user to the specified host when you close this wizard. (If you
     do not select this option, the user name will be authenticated later, when
     you try to access the contents of the repository.)</li>
   <li><em>Optional:</em> Select <strong>Save Password</strong> if you want to
   	save the password between sessions, so you do not have to enter the password
   	again the next time you start Eclipse. To persist login credentials in a
   	safe, encrypted form <a href="../reference/ref-securestorage-start.htm">
   	Secure Storage</a> is used.</li>
   <li> Click <b>Finish</b>. The repository location is created. </li>
 </ol>

 <p><strong>Note</strong>: Prior to Eclipse 3.0, the <strong>extssh</strong> connection
   method only supported SSH 1.0. In 3.0 or later, this connection method was upgraded to
   support SSH 2.0 as well.</p>
 <p><em>Tip</em>: If you want to use the <strong>extssh</strong> connection method
   but want to keep your local workspace (sandbox) compatible with the CVS command
   line client, you can use the <strong>ext</strong> connection method and configure
   it to use <strong>extssh</strong> from inside Eclipse on the
