Moving cvs repository to a new machine

We have a CVS repository on machine 'A'. Want to copy a specific directory to machine 'B's CVS with all the history from 'A'. The problem is I can only access CVS on machine 'A' using Eclipse only (dont have access using Unix). Is it possible to do that using Eclipse?

Not really. You could probably script an automatic checkout from A and commit to B based on cvs log output but you'd still lose date and author information and reinstating tags and branches will probably get tricky, too.

You should better find someone with file-level access to the two repositories as in that case it's a simple copy operation. No additional work required.
