Because you can access the server. But you are only able to get the
sources with the cvs program. I think you don't have access to get them
with the pscp program.

This is not the ssh program. This is the secure copy program. Maybe
you will find a pssh.exe program.

I would propose to you that you are visit the http://cygwin.com
address and that you install the cygwin environment. It's really easy
to install and afterwards you will have a very good environment.
