<P>Hi guys,</P>
<P>i'm a junior PHP developer, most of my work is hosted remotely on shared servers. Currently, i'm just downloading files that i wish to edit and upload them back onto the server using FTP.</P>
<P>As there maybe multiple developers, could anybody point me into the right direction of how to setup CVS - i.e what to install etc.</P>
<P>Thanks in advance!<BR><BR></P></DIV>
