[MITgcm-support] Re: Problems with MITgcm server

[Patrick Heimbach]

Ed,

I am actually experiencing similar problems
when trying to CVS from GFDL
(over the last few weeks; it used to work fine before):
> cvs -n update
ssh: connect to address 128.31.2.31 port 22: Connection timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

When cvs-ing locally at mit.edu things work fine for me too.
