To configure CVS using putty, install putty and enter the host name where CVS repository is located. Command prompt pops up asking to authenticate. Once authenticated you will be able to access CVS repository from your local machine.

You can also configure CVS with Eclipse. In the fast view of eclipse select CVS and go to CVS repository.
Configure the CVS by specfying the parameters requested. CVS will be integrated with the local machine. Now, we can checkout the projects into the repository. This helps in maintaining all the applications at a single repository. Also it will be helpful for all the team members to work on the same version of code.
