If the stuff doesn't exist in the CVS tree yet, you need to add that first. From here, it looks like you need to: $ cvs -m "Importing keyboard app" add Keyboard/ Keyboard/* $ cvs -m "Importing keyboard app" commit As an FYI, I wouldn't use pserver for CVS, especially if you have write access. Your password is sent in the clear, and, for an additional lack of security bonus, is also saved in an easily crackable hash in every nook and cranny of your CVS project. Use ":ext:user@xxxxxx" to make sure it's working over ssh.
