In WinCVS 2.1, Click the Remote menu item, and select Checkout code. On this screen click the ... next to CVSROOT, and you should bring up a dialog allowing you to enter the parameters you mention in your question (this is a bit easier to do than trying to enter the string manually).

You'll also need to enter a module name on the server, and a directory to check our the code into, but once you do this and click OK you should start checking out the code.

You have to use WinCVS with the PuTTY SSH tools to be able to connect securely. Check out the description here
