Thanks for your help Larry
U: isn't a mapped drive. It's a local drive. I have other mapped drives on
my machine so I can tell the difference.
I don't have a command line ssh setup in my path at the moment - trying to
download one.
Anyway I tried typing
bk clone file://U:/Code/Edge bk://edge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/edge
>From the cygwin bash shell and an error relating to the fact that it
couldn't find ssh or rsh, like you mentioned.
Just to make sure I've got this right - what I want to do is make the
repository edge.bkbits.net the parent repository so this means I should be
cloning from there to my local drive right? If it were the other way around
any push commands I make wont work because they would view edge.bkbits.net
as the child repository. I got the process the other way around in the
previous email.
I'm not new to version control - I've primarily used Sourcesafe and cvs
(I've got a small project on sourceforge). I've also setup a subversion
server for home use but want to try bitkeeper as well. To be honest
Sourcesafe was the easiest to get started with.

U: must be a network drive or some other mapped drive on your disk, right?
So that isn't visible from bkbits.net. You should be able to say, on your
PC,
bk clone file://U:/Code/Edge bk://edge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/edge
assuming that you created a project called edge.bkbits.net and that you have
a ssh client in your path.
