We are using CVSNT on machine running Windows XP Pro.

After using it for more than 5 years, today we have an issue with CVS.

When we try to update a subdirectory in a repository, some of the files failed to update with message

"Permission denied"

and some files fail with the message

"ABC.java is no longer in the repository".

But when we login to the CVS machine itself and browse the subdirectory, we can see the files are there. We have checked the Windows folder permissions and they seem correct.

What are the permissions on the files and their containing directories? On unix, *,v files are read-only and directories must be writable by the committer; I expect the situation is similar on Windows. – Gilles Nov 30 '10 at 21:59
the files *.v are read-only, but when we view the file's propertes security tab, it prompts a "permission denied" error. but the parent folder has the read, write and other permissions set for the comitter(s). – Alvin Sim Dec 1 '10 at 3:05
